Maybe TextLayoutEngine should be GlyphLayoutEngine... :-)

For real, the thing it is supposed to do is to be a single algorithm for 
layouting glyphs. Also implementing the different modes like 
B_CHAR_SPACING, B_STRING_SPACING, B_BITMAP_SPACING and whatnot.

[proposed change in locking]

I also thought if it might be smarter to have the locking at the caching 
level. However, to readlock for each single glyph sounds too expensive 
IMHO. Or did I get you wrong?

Oh, it was on your TODO as well? :-)
