i thought of that, but don't you have other plans for text rendering? like using freetype? and if you convert to pango, you'll be using freetype too, or am i mistaken?
My understanding (Mental: please correct me if I'm wrong) is that no matter what is the back-end, what Inkscape gets from it is always a glyph curve. That is, neither Freetype nor Pango will be doing font rasterizing for us (if only because they cannot do all the fills, strokes, transparency etc); they will only give us glyphs which Inkscape will render using its own renderer.
