What we are looking into is Cario (www.cairographics.org), which is a 2D vector graphics API that does support exactly this (device independant graphics). It already has backends for PostScript and PDF, so it's a good choice. Plus, it's possible to hardware accelerate it's screen drawing functionality through OpenGL, since it's based on an XRender like compositing engine. This makes it quite interesting.

Ooh! Ooh! This is the one they're basing the next version of Gnome on isn't it? Mozilla are also moving in that direction. JFDI[1] I say :) Olly. [1] I'll give you a clue: It's Nike's slogan with the F from RTFM chucked in :)
