<pre>Hi, what about adding a way to specify units for the SVG output?
SVG supports several units[1]: em, ex, px, pt, pc, cm, mm, in, and percentages;
but cairo hardcodes the document units to be pt.
What about a function like cairo_svg_surface_set_unit(surface, unit) ?
The units can be passed as enum values and the function would set the right
unit identifier as a string to use when writing the <svg> element in
_cairo_svg_document_finish()
If the idea looks good I can work on a patch.
Thanks,
Antonio
