Please note the current cairo API docs say:

The functions with glyphs in their name form cairo's low-level text
API. The low-level API relies on the user to convert text to a set of
glyph indexes and positions. This is a very hard problem and is best
handled by external libraries, like the pangocairo that is part of the
Pango text layout and rendering library. Pango is available from
http://www.pango.org/.

Cairo does not replace Pango, Pango adds functionality to Cairo.
