There's no cr.font, just 

 cr.font_name
 cr.font_size

Conceptually, cr.select_font ("Sans", ITALIC, NORMAL);

 cr.font_name = Cairo::FontNameSimple ("Sans", ITALIC, NORMAL);

And we could expose the FontNameSimple constructor. Making
FontNameSimple mutable, however, would be somewhat difficult with my
current implementation plans.

(Yes, I know cairo_font_name_t is confusing, but I don't want to start
using some other term until we come to an agreement. cairo_face_t is
my current favorite.)
