GObject porting of the renderers is done, except perhaps for some Win32 stuff, which I'm not sure of. I still have a horrible problem with the difference in font names between gdk (X) pango and pangoft2. I plan to either make standard X rendering use pangoft2 or trim the font namespace to those that match. Using pangoft2 all over requires more #hell because Win32 can't use freetype. Trimming the namespace is an ugly, ugly hack that's sure to break in a number of ways.

I would like to do a christmas release, if at all possible.
