[cairo] can cairo give me a draw pen with gradient width

[Donn]

Hi, I'm sure others will give you better advice, but Cairo is all about 
drawing *outlines* (paths) of things. So your character would be drawn the 
way you would do it in a vector application; by joining nodes around the 
outline of the shape, and then on the inside and then filling it.

I don't think one can vary the size of the stroke *while* it's stroking, but I 
could be wrong.
