Description
Is it possible to add the Canvas from font-kit to to the Display List Builder, and how would I go about doing that?
My question has been spurred on by servo/webrender#3222 and looking to see it this could have any positive effect on RAM consumption.

Research direction
Start by reading servo/webrender#3222 and investigating how WebRender's Display List Builder could receive a Canvas from font-kit. Determine whether this integration is feasible and whether it improves RAM consumption; completion would require an agreed implementation scope and evidence of the memory impact.
