It also disables cairo_quartz_font_face_create_for_atsu_font_id() -- I'm not sure if ATSUI is available on iOS (afaik it is at least deprecated), so using an "ifdef" was the easiest solution.

I have pushed to master a commit that breaks this patch :(
Regarding the patch, I'd rather have a #define which specifies if we
should #include CoreGraphics or ApplicationServices.
We should also use autotools to detect if the ATSUI-related font types
are available and declare the functions which need them in the
prototype only if they actually are.

Anyway, thanks for your patch, I haven't forgot about the need to
improve support for iOS and I'm keeping track of your patch (also
because you provide the whole env settings needed to compile...
great!)
I hope my next mail in this thread will be better news ;)
