I mean antialiasing.

Yes, I wanted to use cairo_win32_surface_create_with_dib, but Mono.Cairo 
(for C#), which I use, doesn't seem to implement it.

But anyway I found a solution, which works perfect. I tryed ImageSurface 
instead of Win32Surface and that was successful!

The code is below. I spent half a day to get this working :-)

{
Bitmap img = new Bitmap(Width, Height, Imaging.PixelFormat.Format32bppArgb);
Imaging.BitmapData bmpData =
                img.LockBits(new Rectangle(0, 0, Width, imgHeight),
                Imaging.ImageLockMode.WriteOnly, img.PixelFormat);

Cairo.ImageSurface imgsrf = new Cairo.ImageSurface(bmpData.Scan0,
 Cairo.Format.Argb32, Width, Height, Width * 4);
cr = new Cairo.Context(imgsrf);

/* Some drawings here */

img.UnlockBits(bmpData);
return img;
}


The problem is resolved.
Thanks to everyone!
