Now also has a font selector that works (up to selecting fonts, no styles
yet).  The rendering, however, does not include any transparency (of
course), which shows up as little white rectangles around the characters
and, worse, white overlap over some characters.  The libart renderer (it's
stable now, right?) may be able to take care of that, if I can but find
enough documentation to figure it out.  And printing, of course, is still
to come, as it assumes the old font system.
