Hi there!
thank you all for the quick feedback on this matter!!. Considering that I
agree with all your comments I'll do this:
"Implement Text layer using Pango-Cairo libraries with the minimum effort
to maximize the emulation of the basic parameters."
Also, it is worth to mention that once the Glyphs are stored in a Cairo
format (convert the pango glyphs to a cairo path is not that difficult) It
might be possible to render the cairo path on a Synfig's surface with a
little of effort in coding. It could be possible because the Cairo path
provides a way to read its primitives, and so, it is possible to turn them
into something that Synfig's current shape renderer can understand. That
way a Pango text layer could be implemented even in a native Synfig surface.
But that's other story... ^__^
Cheers!
