three of the forks: a "simple" side effect by the very developer who's  
responsible for the rendering part, he prefers subclassing of existing  
Smalltalk libs.

BTW: Cuis has no WideString but will probably be the fastest of the three.

goals: render _every_ glyph that is in _any_ modern (Unicode) platform  
font; make fonts offline and online usable, especially on small devices if  
needed, on demand (by end user).

working on: three parts 1) fonts/glyphs without new plugins/VM support; 2)  
glyphs "char" map visualization (for end user support); 3) glyph  
composition (for complicated scripts which need more than one glyph per  
"character" location).

Have an application in mind which we can add for doing tests?
