[cairo] postscript backend cut my text

[Charles Doutriaux]

Doh!!!
I'm sorry I forgot I rebuild with 1.6.4 last night.....

Ok the snipet I sent yesterday might have missed a cairo_save (i 
probably forgot a copy/paste) but it is definately still missing a bunch 
of XXXX
when linking against 1.76.  and it works fine against 1.6.4 so i'll be 
suing this for now

hope this helps, and again sorry for the false hapy ending :(

For now i'm going to revert 1.6.4 for our stuff

thanks,

C.
