Graphite2 has a C interface. Download graphite2 (the preferred engine now) from http://projects.palaso.org/attachments/download/242/graphite2-1.1.3.tgz there is sample code in the tests/examples directory. You can get a pretty PDF of it all at http://projects.palaso.org/attachments/download/212/manual.pdf

It would be great to have a C# wrapper for graphite2. When I did a ctypes layer for python, it took about half a day.
