It seems to favour Cairo as a starting point. I bet the D 
community could win a race with the C++ lot to implement it. D 
makes you much more productive.

For any who don't know what Cairo does, the app I'm working on - 
COMPO - is pretty much a showcase for what it, and the associated 
text rendering library Pango, can do - britseyeview.com/compo/.
