Hi, Thank your guide, and now I know this is not cairo's problem but SDL2, SDL2 need to set SDL_WINDOW_ALLOW_HIGHDPI to show a single pixel line, but I found another problem, and this time I use cairo_surface_write_to_png without SDL2, the line is clear and bright, but the text is blurry. the blew picture is a text compare between cairo and other apps.

How should I do to show a clear text like other apps by using cairo?

code:
cairo_surface_t *surface;     
    cairo_t *cr;                  
    surface = cairo_image_surface_create (CAIRO_FORMAT_ARGB32, 100, 100);
    cr = cairo_create (surface);

    cairo_set_source_rgb (cr, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0);
    cairo_paint(cr);


    cairo_text_extents_t extents;
    const char *utf8 = "bulrry text";
    double x,y;

    // cairo_set_antialias(cr, CAIRO_ANTIALIAS_BEST);
    cairo_select_font_face (cr, "mono",
        CAIRO_FONT_SLANT_NORMAL,
        CAIRO_FONT_WEIGHT_NORMAL);

    cairo_set_font_size (cr, 14.0);
    cairo_text_extents (cr, utf8, &extents);
    x = 128.0-(extents.width/2 );
    y = 128.0-(extents.height/2 );

    cairo_move_to (cr, 0, 15);
    cairo_set_source_rgba (cr, 1, 1, 1, 1);
    cairo_show_text (cr, utf8);

    /* draw helping lines */
    cairo_set_source_rgb (cr, 1, 0, 0);
    cairo_set_line_width (cr, 1.0);
    cairo_rectangle(cr, 20.5, 20.5, 50, 50);
    cairo_stroke (cr);
    cairo_surface_write_to_png(surface , "./a.png");
