[cairo] cairo without fontconfig revisited

[cu]

I think that's what w do - create FT_Face for each font (in fact, for
internal reasons multiple FT_Face references may be created for the same
font, so I sure hope FreeType refcounts :) ). Then FT_Face is turned
into a non-scaled font cairo and non-scaled font into scaled font.
Non-scaled font is immediately discarded. Scaled font and appropriate
FT_Face are essentially "static data", and only destroyed during program
shutdown.

Is that reasonable?
