Thanks, I'm reading the paper* linked to on that site explaining the technique used in the library. It's encouraging me more to pursue implementing a 2D render on the GPU. I'm also inspired by a recent talk about gkurve**.

Do note that as far as I know, this technique is patent-encumbered, at least in the US.

Thanks. I wonder what the patents cover. With all the work going into 2D rendering on the GPU I'd imagine others discovering similar methods.
