Hi Behdad,

Actually, I followed this: 
http://vividos.wordpress.com/2008/01/23/how-to-compile-cairo-for-pocketpc/

And near the end, it says:
Since there is no easy solution for this, I just commented out the 
function body, so text rendering isn’t supported by cairo on Windows CE 
for now. Revisiting my changes to cairo, I saw that I tried to 
reimplement GetCharacterPlacement and some more needed functions, but 
that code has to be looked upon again. In the end I didn’t manage to 
bring rendered text onto a cairo surface.

That's why I thought that cairo_show_text would probably not work directly.

Cheers,
Mohit.
