There's nothing to do that directly, but it seems like it should be
simple enough for you to use the box returned by cairo_stroke_extents
and do the intersection testing you want with your box of
interest. Something like:

	cairo_stroke_extents (cr, &x1, &y1, &x2, &y2);
	if ((x1 >= 25.0 && x1 <= 50.0) &&
	    (x2 >= 25.0 && x2 <= 50.0) &&
	    (y1 >= 25.0 && y1 <= 50.0) &&
	    (y2 >= 25.0 && y2 <= 50.0) &&)
	{
	    /* stroke lies entirely within (25, 25) - (50, 50) */
	}

Thats for complete containment. I'm not sure if that's what you meant
by "lies in" or if you simply wanted non-zero intersection, but that
would also be pretty easy to do as well.

Easy enough? Or did I misunderstand what you wanted to do?
