So Toba added glib as a dependency for hashtables. Fine, it's not big, cross platform, and gnobelib is on enough people's systems already not to worry..
I'm looking for font rendering now. freetype2 was our old solution, but it gave me a headache and was very difficult to do anything but the most basic stuff. Pango is what GTK/Gnome uses. It layers on top of freetype2, and other font libraries, provides layout, styling, colors, I18N, unicode, all that great stuff. Sample code: http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/pango/pango-Cairo-Rendering.html Pango and Cairo are part of the gnome library stack. Anyone using glib is likely to have them already. Cairo provides other things, too, like the ability to render SVG and load/save PNGs. Something we could undoubtedly benefit from. Cairo is now a non-optional part of Pango and is apparently the easiest way to get Pango rendering to a texture. I'm iffy - it seems a bit big. But if we've already taken one step into the Gnome dragon's mouth why not take a second if there's a potential gain?
