We are working on an experimental system that only
supports OpenGL (no XWindows). I am to try to bring
Mozilla up on it if can be done with a reasonable
amount of work. I have done work on Mozilla in the
past so I am somewhat familar with it. Since the
XWindows support in Mozilla already uses Freetype to
generate bitmaps I was going to port this code to use
OpenGL.

Bringing Mozilla up on OpenGL as another platform
would have some neat side effects. It would allow a
single gfx to be used on Linux, Mac and Windows. It
would also make it much easier to implement a lot of
SVG. Right now Mozilla SVG is just painting to a
bitmap, they have to reimplement everything, a
graphics subsystem, fonts, etc.

I've also looked at the demo of Evas using X and
OpenGL where there is a huge speed difference between
the two. I'm curious to see if a large app like
Mozilla would see the same speed differences.
