On Windows, we use gdiplus, which is notoriously slow. Optionally

closer yet, though.

IIRC, Cairo also runs on win32, so why not using it instead of gdi+ ?

How is cairo's performance against gdi+ on Windows?  Do you know?



Ideally, we should be targeting Direct2D on Windows, only falling back to GDI+ for older operating system version (before Vista).

Cairo uses GDI+ on Windows by default.
It looks like Mozilla wrote a Direct2D backend for Cairo, but I can't seem to find out if it was ever integrated back into the main Cairo library (cairographics.org is currently unreachable for me).
