<application>Cairo</application> is a 2D graphics library with support for
multiple output devices. Currently supported output targets include the
<application>X</application> Window System, win32, image buffers,
PostScript, PDF and SVG. Experimental backends include OpenGL, Quartz and
XCB file output. <application>Cairo</application> is designed to produce
consistent output on all output media while taking advantage of display
hardware acceleration when available (e.g., through the X Render
Extension). The <application>Cairo</application> API provides operations
similar to the drawing operators of PostScript and PDF. Operations in
<application>Cairo</application> include stroking and filling cubic
B&eacute;zier splines, transforming and compositing translucent images,
and antialiased text rendering. All drawing operations can be transformed
by any

<para>
There is a circular dependency between cairo and harfbuzz.
If cairo is built before harfbuzz, it is necessary to rebuild cairo
after harfbuzz in order to build pango.
