[cairo] Unable to view Pango Cairo Layout

[Rabia Sirhindi]

Hi,

I am working on pango and using cairo as a rendering backend. I wrote a
small program using some pango-cairo layout functions. The problem is that
even when I am able to compile the program successfully on an FC5 machine,
it does not show anything on screen. below is the code.

     #include <pango/pango.h>
        #include <pango/pangocairo.h>
        //#include <cairo/cairo.h>
        #define FONT "Sans Bold 20"

        int main (int argc, char *argv[]){
        PangoFontMap *fontmap;
        PangoContext *context;
        PangoLayout *layout;
        PangoFontDescription *font_desc;
        const char * text = "Display text in Arabic
\330\247\331\204\330\263\331\204\330\271\331\204\331\212\331\203\331\205\n";

        cairo_surface_t  *surface =
cairo_image_surface_create(CAIRO_FORMAT_ARGB32,0,0);
        cairo_t *cr = cairo_create (surface);
        cairo_set_source_rgb (cr,0.0,0.0,0.0);

        font_desc = pango_font_description_from_string(FONT);

        //fontmap = pango_cairo_font_map_get_default();
        //context = pango_cairo_font_map_create_context((PangoCairoFontMap
*)fontmap);

        layout = pango_cairo_create_layout(cr);
        pango_layout_set_text (layout, text, -1);
        pango_layout_set_font_description (layout, font_desc);

        pango_font_description_free(font_desc);

        pango_cairo_show_layout(cr,layout);

        g_print("Last line!");
        return 0;
        }

Can anyone point out what am I missing? Thanks in advance.
