Why would it need to be ported to pangocairo? Because you will want to use Cairo to draw the text on the canvas while it is being edited. And we would like to use the same code (and get the same result) when the text layer is actually rendered to the drawable. Thus, it seems like a good idea to port the text core to Cairo as a first step.
