Anyone seen anything about the new nvidia path rendering extension? May have some potential, and an nvidia guy responded to a post on the forum offering help if anyones interested in looking at it.

The official NVIDIA drivers are proprietary and I guess that Nouveau does not support that yet and would probably require some nasty reverse engineering to do it. We shouldn't put effort on supporting a vendor-specific API that requires users to install proprietary drivers.
If these features become standard OpenGL in the future, then we hope that libre drivers will implement them and then we may consider supporting them. But we would still have to be careful to make it optional, so that the users always have a choice.
happy hacking, Felipe Sanches
