Non-ascii characters break Cairo's show_text

[Ari Jolma <ari jolma tkk fi>]

I can't get non-ascii characters to print on an image surface with 
Cairo. Furthermore, a show_text call with non-ascii character seems to 
break text rendering for subsequent ascii text also. I wonder what's the 
problem.

I've tried this both in Windows and Linux and with Cairo 1.041.

Otherwise all characters work ok in Gtk2, for example in the font 
selection dialog box.

the test code:

use Cairo;

my $surf = Cairo::ImageSurface->create('argb32', 400, 400);
my $cr = Cairo::Context->create($surf);

$cr->rectangle (0, 0, 400, 400);
$cr->set_source_rgba (1, 1, 1, 1);
$cr->fill;

$cr->set_source_rgba(0, 0, 0, 1);
$cr->select_font_face('Times New Roman', 'normal', 'normal');
$cr->set_font_size(20);

$cr->move_to(100, 100);

print STDERR "1\n";
$cr->show_text("this shows");
print STDERR "2\n";

$cr->move_to(200, 200);

print STDERR "3\n";
$cr->show_text("but this not åäöÅÄÖ");
print STDERR "4\n";

$cr->move_to(300, 300);

print STDERR "5\n";
$cr->show_text("neither this");
print STDERR "6\n";

$surf->write_to_png("test.png");
