Did you note that Cairo demands UTF-8 encoded strings?

http://cairographics.org/manual/cairo-text.html#cairo-show-text

(That's the C API; not sure whether your .NET binding does any conversion.)

Latin small letter e with acute is "\xC3\xA9" in UTF-8, written as a C string. Your "é" might be interpreted as "\xE9", which is that letter's encoding in ISO-8859-1, or "\xE9\x00" in UTF-16.
