Well, fonts do not belong in LibGGI2D.
And antialiased drawing doesn't belong there it is not hardware
accelerated (on most hardware, IIRC I've heard about next generation
3D-cards supporting antialiased edges), and because the software
implementations would be very different from normal 2D drawing.
