At the same level of quality - yes, probably even more accurate (curves, anti-aliasing in adjacent edges). However, a accelerated hardware could certainly outperform the AGG backend in terms of speed. >> AGG is completely based on include files (since it heavily uses >> templates).

I nearly forgot about that. However, libagg.a is only required for special functions (to draw outlines, for example). I did not yet understand why certain classes are contained in the lib and others do not. However, to draw shapes (like glyphs) that lib is *not* needed.
