Good access to fonts and font metrics is the kicker. Otherwise I'd say to switch to using diagrams as a backend, hence getting a whole bunch of actual backends for free. I would love to see development of some good Haskell font packages -- maybe it would even make a good GSoC project? Unfortunately I don't know enough about it to even know what would be involved, or how much work it would be.
I assume that to use diagram the font package would have to be a vector font system, or could bit-mapped fonts be used ?
