Anybody got any relevant pointers on Cairo? I've never really used  
Cairo but a colleague has a fairly complex piece of code he uses to  
render anti-aliased scenes on his linux system (and to generate PDF  
output for a permanent record.)

I was taking a look at porting this to OSX, but my initial attempts  
fail because:

1: The image is upside down. I'm *pretty* sure this is because the  
Quartz and fltk rendering origins are different, and Matthias has  
flipped the Quartz origin to make it compatible with fltk. Then when  
I try and pass that CGContext to Cairo, everything is flipped... And  
I'm not sufficiently familiar with either Quartz or Cairo to know how  
to make it good again...

2: The fonts don't seem to be right. This is likely something I have  
done, maybe I have built my Cairo wrong or something. Anyhow, it's a  
non-standard font (as a dfont, actually) but fltk renders it just  
fine, Cairo does not and we get default glyphs...

Suggestions?
Other than not using Cairo, since Quartz is anti-aliased anyway, and  
there are others ways to get PDF out of an OSX system...

Cheers,
