It would be really nice for embedded systems to have Freetype, fontconfig and Pango packaged into a standalone library without any dependencies on the rest of X or glib.
GTK and Xlib versions of Mozilla are already basically using all three. Freetype is being used as is but with a horribly messy kludge to look for missing glyphs. On Windows Mozilla avoids the kludge by accessing the loca tables which Freetype doesn't provide. The same capability as fontconfig has been reimplemented in Mozilla. And Sun has just built in a de-glib'd version of Pango to get shaping support for Thai. Now I'm going through the Mozilla version of this code again and making it platform independent for my own needs.
