First port mathtext to wx <wink>.  There are two ways to do this:

  * Write WXAgg:  This is easier than you think.  

  * Use the image_as_str method that ft2font provides to get a pixel
    array from the math fonts and transfer them to the wx canvas using
    the wx API.  Something like draw_from_rgba.  I don't know WX very
    well.  Is there a WX method that allows you to draw from a
    character buffer or array?

Jeremy earlier expressed some interest in WXAgg but I don't know what
the current status of that is.

After that is done, we can move on to your question.  Hint: see
examples/alignment_test.py for examples of laying out just text using
0,1 coords.
