Yes, you're right. I'm being lazy here. I guess I could make cairo  
depend on the utf8 package. Or, even cruder, I could just copy the  
two functions into the corresponding cairo modules -- converting from  
utf8 is not that hard.

The affected functions only concern the "toy" text functions of  
cairo. Still, point taken.

Axel.
