I just tried to create PDF output using cairo+pango and the Doulos SIL
font under windows. With the binaries from
http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/binaries/win32[/dependencies] it
works fine. So it's probaly that the pdf backend in R's Cairo package
isn't compiled with all the options you require. I suppose you have
to talk to the developer of that package. Otherwise I have no clue.

I case you want to try if the setup you have works at all under windows
I attached the test thingy. If desired I can send you the exe.
