The thread you pointed to has a link to the reference implementation.

It seems to favour Cairo as a starting point. I bet the D community could win a race with the C++ lot to implement it. D makes you much more productive.

For any who don't know what Cairo does, the app I'm working on - COMPO - is pretty much a showcase for what it, and the associated text rendering library Pango, can do - britseyeview.com/compo/.
