Thanks for the details about the text handling.

Can you provide any details about the rest of the planned
DC-like functionality?

[ FYI - In case you're soliciting input, priorities, etc... ]

As someone who is producing *large* printouts (Maps, etc), I'm
especially interested in line/polygon/image handling, etc.
Additionally, the real silver-bullet that I'm looking at the
wxPDFDC (?) for is proper/native support for alpha (transparency)
while printing.

Rasterizing to do a large printout isn't practical (Consumes
huge amounts of memory), and other vector approaches (PS) don't
support alpha.  PDF is the best looking solution I see!
[ Unless someone else has a better solution? ]

Thanks for any info!
