I find funny in how my current solution for viewport styles (such as Stretch or Fit) seems like your 3rd attempt. Some times letting the definition outside your thing is the best to do. This was a real lesson I got from when I started doing my API interface for my engine.

My text class is a little similar in that it does not draw itself, it is just an object to be drawn from the text renderer. So, it holds the string to draw and its vertices information, but the reason was only for not tying it to the renderer itself, so I could increase compilation speed. I find it amazing into how we code our solutions to problems based on which aspect of the problem we wish to tackle it more.
