Yes, we definitely need a new question answered there:

	I've been using cairo_show_text, but I want to start doing more
	complex things than it can do. How can I switch to using pango
	instead?

And the answer would have before and after snippets of code.

Behdad, want to write up that answer for us? If you'd like to just post
a reply to this message, I'd be glad to put the answer into the FAQ page
on the wiki.
