--- Comment #14 from Michael Meeks <michael.me...@collabora.com> ---
I like the idea of Skia integration personally, but as you say it needs work.
I'd like to kill this guy though:

FWIW - we already did; we've done this for all releases with GL as default -
which has not been using ClearType - and no screaming ;-) Also - Microsoft
Office itself does not use the platform font rendering (except for (just parts)
of its toolbar) - the body / document text is rendering grey-scale with no
hinting - I -assume- to improve cross-platform document rendering ;-)
Re-using whatever code Cairo uses to drive freetype sounds sensible to me too
(for the short-run), I've no problems with that. But I don't think we need to
be overly worried about the platform font integration, and should be more
worried about consistency I think.
