When I ported FLTK to the Mac, I started exactly that. The source code  
is still in test/unittest.cxx. The goal was to be able to verify  
rendering on every available platform. I wanted to render markers  
first and then overwrite them with whatever drawing function I was  
testing. That way, of-by-one errors, for example in fl_rect, would  
become obvious right away. I would *love* to have that for text  
rendering. For some test, a comparison to an image would be in order  
as well
(for example: this is how FL_HELVETICA should look and this is how it  
is rendered on this machine).
