This can be a solution for the 'renderer' availability during
parse time, anyway this was already fixed by all but GTK/AGG
combination.

The other problem we have, and that persist with all renderers
(what we call 'font antialiasing'), is the current implementaion
of fonts glyph rendering. It relies on the fact that the whole
SWF has been parsed before rendering the textured glyphs.
It must be modified to allow on-demand rendering of them,
or, if you prefer, right-after-reading-definition rendering
of each font.
