Ok, so what do we do about the current killer problems:
- text aspect ratio
- clipping

On a mildly related note, how are connections supposed to be done in GL? 
We need to make connections work relatively soon.

Also, what to do about text scaled to a small size? In GL, currently it 
quickly becomes antialiased into a uniform grey mess. How will we make 
it legible?
