What if the user doesn't call cairo_show directly but use
pango_cairo_show_layout ? I think the method used for showing glyphs (<text> or
<glyph>) should be configurable. Text support in the different open source svg
renderers is quite bad, and the <glyph> method is a good way to ensure a good
rendering.
