I can't find "sans" or "Sans" in o_text.c grep for "Sans" over the whole pcjc2 dir, returns the localename "Sanscrit" ;-) Maybe you meant some other branch? > Yes, it helps lots over the case where I was rendering text using lines > (old code, converted to cairo lines).

Isn't it possible to do all the glyph rendering in advance for a couple of zoom stages? Or even pre-render the whole schematic.
