[Tfug] svgalib or directfb or?

[Nathanial Hendler]

I'm building a home-kiosk-jukebox that will use tv-out
(low-resolution).  I'm writing all of the interface software, and I
don't want to use X.

I've started experimenting with svgalib for the graphics, and I'm ok
with it, but I can't get truetype fonts to work (not a deal breaker).
Does anyone have any opinions on whether or not I should use or avoid
svgalib or framebuffer or CGI or something else?  I'd like to be able
to display PNG/GIF/JPEG and text.  I don't care about 3D, or hardware
acceleration or video.

Thanks,
Nathan
