This certainly looks interesting. When there's work done on a Cairo backend for Antigrain, then it sounds more interesting to keep going with the Cairo implementation for Java2D (for portability's sake) and make use of Antigrain via Cairo. Also AFAIK there's lots of work done to improve Cairo performance, and the OpenGL accelerated X servers will certainly help too. Of course if somebody (you?) is willing to hack together a Java2D backend based on plain Antigrain, then I wouldn't say no :-) /Roman
