You might want to consider using OpenGL, as it offers blending support
for a variety of geometric and imaging primitives and can be integrated
nicely with FreeType for text.  It's widely available and
well-documented.

On many platforms OpenGL is hardware accelerated.  If you happen to be
using one where it isn't, then software rendering via Mesa might still
be fast enough for you, but you'd need to run a few experiments to find
out.
