OK - that can work.

For what it is worth, I have an application that uses fltk to render
it's on-screen displays, but also has a "cairo" mode (it is easy in fltk
to get a suitable window context from a fltk widget to use to create a
cairo surface to draw into...)
Now, the fltk rendering is much quicker (and at least on OSX/quartz
which is anti-alised anyway) the two outputs look very similar.

So - why did I bother, if it just looks the same? Well, the answer is
that the cairo context allows me to render the scene directly to a PDF
file... Something like that might work well for you?
