OK, I've toyed a bit more with OpenGL and while I still believe that
font rendering could be an issue, I guess it's doable. On the one hand
you can use high res textures (acceptable quality for animations, but
inferior to normal 2d painting) and on the other hand you can use
overpainting or glDrawPixels() and friends (high quality fonts, but
still some fiddling with model sizes and screen res. needed).

If you like the (conceptual) look of my prototype...

  (should play with MPlayer, my Xine did struggle a bit :-( )

...I'd be happy to gear my proposal towards a OpenGL heavy solution.

Thanks
