cr.new_path

      # font attributes should be done differently
      cr.select_font "Sans", Cairo::FONT_WEIGHT_NORMAL, 
Cairo::FONT_SLANT_NORMAL
      cr.scale_font 140
      # most methods return self in the current binding thus allowing drawing

      cr.move_to(50, 230).text_path "rcairo"
    cr.close_path

Why not take a block for the path?

See the attached.

Also, it looks as if the 

 alias line_width= set_line_width

doesn't work inside methods of that class (you have to use set_line_width() 
instead). I didn't remember that.
