[cairo] printing text on to a PDF/PS document using cairo

[rush ta]

hi...

I know this is a repeat question but have been stuck on this for 4-5 days...
pls b considerate...

I have been trying to print text on to a PDF/PS document using cairo..(Have
attached my code below...)

Am using the code from the example of pdf-surface create..
I have only substituted the arc code with text one...
My code compiles & runs fine..

But the pdf doc created doesn't display any text...(its just plain white)...

Where am I going wrong...

Also I have to print a lot of text on the pdf (table of 6 col X 30 rows), do
I have to use cairo_glyph_t ,cairo_show_glyphs() .... ??

And for printing the text onto the PDF/PS do I have to use
cairo_pdf_surface_create_for _stream ()......

pls reply I have had only one answer to my previous mail.

bye
rushi
