    That's very cool and so on, but I *think* that rendering text with
    freetype is a sloooooooooooow dog in X systems without the XRender
    extension.

    So, just wondering, are we going to stop supportting xfree < 4.x ?
    not that I care too much myself, I just want to know people opinion.

    Cheers,
