There are two things that I would absolutely must have if I was to completely switch over to GIL:
1) freetype - for text rendering I've started to write a freetype class for GIL that may be of interest. I'll send that to Lubomir it on when I'm done.
2) antaialias lines - for smooth line rendering Anatialias lines are more difficult, particularly connecting end points. I wonder what lubomir's plans are for this important functionality.
As far as I understand GIL, this is not the focus of the library. However, you can rely on third-party libraries to do this, for example http://www.antigrain.com/ (<=2.4 uses a quite liberal license) and http://www.cairographics.org/ . Both can render to memory buffers which in turn can be used directly in GIL. best regards, Malte
