The logical phases as I can see them are as follows, but please
suggest changes:
Start with the most primitive and move up from there (If loosely
coupled, the could be developed in parallel)
1. Geometric primitives
2. Vector graphics
3. Fonts (just a special case of vector graphics)
4. Rasterization
5. Backend (Direct2D/3D, OpenGL, OpenVG, whatever)
The problem I can see here is that if you want to test the first
four, number five has to be built out to some degree.

For initial development, it could be as simple as rendering to a generic
framebuffer that then gets blitted to whatever OS primitives you have to
display it on the screen. That should be enough to get things going
while "real" backends get developed.
It would be better not to or you risk introducing suboptimal software
rendering patterns that do not have even remote correspondence to the
hardware.
