That's good. Saves me the work of reconstructing the version I had.
I suppose you do glyph-caching ?

Yeah - sure. You might want to make it either a helper lib or an extension.
Extension might be the better choice, as font rendering can be accelerated
at least at the glyph caching stage in most current graphics cards.

Please do - you might want to give us a preview to look at as well, so we
can comment on it.
