I'd like to see two options:

CAIRO_EMBED_FONT: Embed the font in the output file yes/no

CAIRO_PLAIN_TEXT: If set, output the plain text string to the file.

Both options would be ignored by backends other than PS, PDF, SVG.
If you don't want to make cairo_font_options_t public, you'd need
access functions like 

cairo_font_options_[gs]et_embed_font()
cairo_font_options_[gs]et_plain_text()

If they were there, I guess they'd be used quite frequently by
programmers who generate file output.

Thanks,
Hans
