Thanks, that works. That's what I was going to try next, just hadn't  
gotten around to it.

Wonderful.


FYI, the only cairo-using app I'm interested in is Graphviz. They use  
the cairo xlib/freetype backends currently, but the way the text  
comes out in the graphs is decidedly yuckier than what I'm used to  
seeing from native Mac OS X apps. So I'd like for Graphviz to be able  
to use the quartz/atsui backends instead if they're available. I'm  
not sure how we get there, since I can't really call myself a C  
programmer and the Graphviz programmers don't spend so much time with  
Macs, but compiling a quartz/atzui cairo was the first step. Thanks  
for your help getting me that far.
