Pango - Conversion to Pango from libnrtype may be worth doing earlier than Cairo since the existing text system lacks many needed features, however this will need to be researched in more depth to determine the feasibility and cost/benefit. Unless a clear benefit is identified to performing the change early, we should conduct the change along with the Cairoification.
It might be relatively easy to begin Pango-ization by writing a Pango backend for libnrtype (which in turn would use either the Pango ft2 or win32 backends, depending on platform).
