Ah, thanks, that's very useful! This creates some new questions though :)

-------
In gdk/directfb/README:

  --argb-font              Use ARGB surfaces for fonts, needed for some
                           broken hardware.

Are ARGB surfaces for glyphs considered a bad thing? What other options are 
there, and how does this relate to hardware broken-ness?

-------
In gdk/directfb/TODO:

- Consider using the recently added glyph cache in PangoFT2 to
  implement our glyph surface cache. Probably limit the number
  of cached glyphs or the size of the surface cache instead of
  keeping all glyphs from a number of fonts in the cache.

The Pango caches FT_Bitmaps; how could this be used to do surface caching? 

Cheers!

    Rob
