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.
