In which case, let me quote myself:

    The drawback is that, if your lines are not exactly vertical or
    horizontal, you will get horrible “jaggies”. This is why
    antialiasing is on by default, and should be left that way for most
    text and shape drawing. To restore the default, end your aliased
    drawing sequence with

        cairo_set_antialias(cr, CAIRO_ANTIALIAS_DEFAULT);

So the question becomes: do you actually have a point that I haven’t
already addressed in my answer?
