I've just recently been looking at Cairo and Cairo+Pango integration
and I think I will in the very near future be capable of providing a
technically much cleaner and more sophisticated version of "Font
Playground".

The current Font Playground backend on the retina URL is very much a
hack of a bunch of stuff --good for proof-of-concept but the code is
*not* pretty to look at.

A Cairo+Pango version of FontPlayground could provide a very nice
solution for the backend.  Just as in the current version of Font
Playground, AJAX is a must on the front-end.  I Just hope no one is in
a great rush as my time is currently split among a lot of other
projects.
