It doesn't. It is rather poorly implemented at this point, which should
change soon in 1.3 versions. I've never used Gnome widgets, but I was
told that the canvas widget is rather slow, so it's probably not
the best solution for a lot of text. But there should be some other
Gnome widget for this.

Do you intend (at some point) to implement anti-aliasing of text on
Unix? I've seen only one program which does this (gfont) and it does it
by using freetype lib for true type fonts and t1lib for Type 1 fonts.
t1lib can't work if the font are not local, but since printing also
needs local fonts, I suppose it's not a big restriction.
It would probably be rather slow, but it's nice as an option.
