@albertov - hey there, we are looking at merging the `text_placement` branch soon. The GlyphSymbolizer has been removed from this branch so the branch merging will drop it. As discussed with @herm - we think/hope the TextSymbolizer can be used to do what the GlyphSymbolizer does with minor changes. So the goal here is not to remove working functionality, but just condense it.

Would it be possible for you to take a look at this? I assume you are actively using the GlyphSymbolizer and would need to test this before the merge (or at least before updating to latest mapnik).
