+ Gnome is in need of a unified printing architecture. This package is an
+attempt for such an architecture, geared towards heavily graphics-intensive
+applications.
+
+ The goals of this architecture include:
+
+ - Absolutely uncompromised output quality
+ - Speed, memory efficiency, and other related performance goals
+ - Ability to work smoothly with PostScript printers, fonts, and
+ other resources
+ - A screen display derived from the Caanvas
+ - An extension path for a wide variety of Unicode scripts
+ - An extension path for a richer set of graphics operators than
+ PostScript supports, especially transparency
+ - To make life as easy as possible for application developers
