No, of course not.

The point I was trying to make is that, as much as possible, I'd like
the interface for generating PostScript/PDF/SVG to be as simple as any
other image type, (X11, PNG, etc.). Ideally, it's just a different
type of image.

I have no plans to support any of that stuff in Cairo.

The font/text API is the most open question in Cairo right now. Keith
and I will be together at OLS next week. I'm hoping we can have a
reasonable first attempt put together before the end of the week.
