google in firefox under en_US.UTF-8 locale

Since upgraded to cairo-1.8.0 a few months ago, the input area in firefox
become very wide. Thinking this is very obvious and will be fix in a short
time, I did not file a bug. However, after upgrading to cairo-1.8.4 today, I
found that this bug is still there :(

In order to make a comparation, I got two screen shot of the firefox on the
same www.g.cn, the normal one is under en_US.UTF-8 locale; the stretched one is
under zh_CN.UTF-8. the locale is shift via gdm.

The gnome-menu also have wide blank after characters, but I fail to take a
screenshot when I activate gnome-menu, but the width of blank area after text
in gnome-menu is nearly the same length of the longest text in the same menu.

I guess that, may be the text width calculation encounter a error when shift
from single-byte width character to multi-bytes width character in cairo, which
causes this bug.
