just checked your PDF, and 2 issues came immediatly into my sight.
1) The font descriptors are missing an encoding declaration.
2) The strings in the Info directory are wrong, you can't
    write (blah(blah)) you must write (blah\(blah\))

Hope that helps a little for the cairo developers.

Greetings,
Franz Schmid
