- Get the cario guys interested in rolling hardware support into the
cairo api. I've talked with them about a hardware openvg backend before. Maybe someone well respected from the inkscape can motivate them to get moving in that direction.
Cairo already has OpenGL and OpenVG back-ends. Experimental they are, but they do exist. For months.
- Take a look into openvg. I believe Trolltech has done some work on
implementing that api in Qt. I used the Amanith openvg render and it works okay in opengl mode. That's another thing to look into.
See above
- And finally, someone might want to check out the evil Microsoft
Direct2D api. I know it's locked into Windows, but it sure should take care of everything you'd ever need, and be blazing fast too boot.
This is even less likely IMO than a move to QT, as it is not cross platform, currently maintaining the windows port is hard enough as we have only a handful of active windows developers.
