In the long run, we would like to have way more than today's simple
one-by-one layout that only works for a limited number of languages.
In that case, writing primitives will be a hard task. If you can put
up with 10% overhead, I would suggest to stay with current situation
while we aim more sophisticated text rendering engine.
