Hi,

I'm no binding expert, but I believe the idea is that you can use the
user_data mechanism to attach arbitrary data to cairo objects.  In this
case see cairo_scaled_font_set_user_data.  You would stuff your method
and instance pointers into a struct and hook it to user_data, then
attach a callback that retrieves that user_data and calls the actual
callback...
