I don't know. Is the Xrender used for Truetype font support?

When searching for Xrender GTK and Translucency I found this:

http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-list/2002-May/msg00211.html

So it doesn't look like Gtk+ 2.0 supports Translucency, but you should
check the GtkAda 2.0 source to see.

Hope it helps.
