Oh well, Gtk+ is working everywhere where Cairo is working. I think the term "Cairo port" is referring to the Windows Platform where the usage of CoreGraphics is replaced with Cairo. > If there is no pure cairo > port and there are no plans to make one either, how time consuming is > writing a new port?

On the other hand you can reuse a lot of what was created and is maintained for the Gtk+ port (Cairo graphics, Curl/Soup networking..). On the other hand the Gtk+ API will gain the ability to draw to a cairo_surface sooner or later. Things like the clutter webkit[1] show what is necessary. z.
