Could you please hint a bit more?  I would rather avoid
repeating the same mistake.

Can I assume the map returned by pango_cairo_font_map_get_default()
is the same map as Gtk+ (Gdk) uses?  Or how do I draw on an
image surface with the same font a widget would use on-screen?

It seems to me I still need to transfer the font
description between two contexts.
