I hope do be able to complete the new text tool anytime soon and it is supposed to give you even better rendering than gimp-freetype combined with the features of GDynText. Development on this tool has stalled a little but I'm planning to take up work on it soon. Let's see what we can do about the path tool. Simon started to hack on this, but I have no idea how far he's come. On the other hand we should probably decide on the feature-set for 1.4 soon and I don't think we should try to add sophisticated stuff like vector layers to 1.4 since it would probably delay the release too much.
