Hmmm possibly - assuming we can somehow 'subclass' the pangocairo
renderer in a similar (or better :)) way we do now with pangoft2 (and
cache glyphs in textures).

Of course that brings in a new dep for Clutter that could bring in other
issues - i.e is Cairo as portable as freetype etc ? And there could well
be performance implications too. 

Not completely sold on the idea if the win is just essentially switching
out a dep.
