[cairo] Cairo and DirectFB: black marks on Chinese and English texts

[William To]

Dear Lionel,

Can I know which version of Cairo and Pango you are using? I might as 
well try an older version of GTK+ and other associated libraries. Also 
my platform is ARM-9 (I only use the framebuffer directly), could that 
have an effect?

Thanks very much and Best Regards
