What I meant was that I think it is the filesystem API that is 
responsible for making sure it is UTF-8.

It does appear, because Microsoft refuses to do it, that the only 
solution is to wrap all the UTF-16 API's in a POSIX emulation that does 
UTF-8, translating it as necessary to UTF-16. I am not suprised that 
they purposely break the portable functions but it is still very very 
annoying. In any case such fixes are probably not Cairo's 
responsibility, but I don't think Cairo should be discouraging it by 
trying to work around it in a few cases.
