[cairo] Text Antialiasing

[Tim Flink]

I'm new to cairo and I have some questions about pycairo 1.2.6

I would like to use antialiased text, but I haven't been able to get it
to work yet. At the moment I am creating a new cairo.FontOptions object
and using the FontObjects.set_antialias() method in an attempt to get
antialiased text but it doesn't seem to be working.

What is the correct way to get cairo to write anti-aliased text using
pycairo?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Tim

text = 'penny thoughts'
cr.select_font_face('Arial', cairo.FONT_SLANT_NORMAL, cairo.FONT_WEIGHT_NORMAL)
cr.set_font_size(16)
fo.set_hint_style(5)
fo.set_antialias(cairo.ANTIALIAS_DEFAULT)
xbearing, ybearing, width, height, xadvance, yadvance = cr.text_extents(text)

text_x = ( 137/2 ) - ( width/2 )
text_y = ( 60/2 ) + ( height/2 )	

cr.move_to(text_x, text_y)
cr.set_source_rgb(0, 0, 0)
cr.show_text(text)

surface.write_to_png('cairoAliasing.png')
cr.show_page()
surface.finish()
