There exists a couple of render engines which use libart for anti-aliased
renderings,
like in KSVG or in koffice/karbon
I don't know any implementations which use Xrender / Cairo directly.
A good starting point would be something like kdenonbeta/kpainter, I think.

The project tries to define a rendering API which is slightly more advanced
than QPainter, and allows for multiple backends, like
a Cairo based.
