That's a great post - thanks for the write up. Yes text rendering is 
really hard when you go beyond the basics, so I agree it saves a lot of 
frustration to use an existing library if you can.

If it is just text selection that is holding you back and you want to 
continue with your UI experiments, why not abandon text selection? If 
the user really wants text selection, you could offer a view-source of 
the raw content in a vanilla text window, and the user can select from 
there in a very straightforward way. You could even scroll to the line 
offset to help if you wanted.

Best Wishes
