#displayString: in CairoGraphicsContext revamped Introduced a CairoScaledFont, a kind of FontDescription for Cairo fonts (Cairo::ScaledFont / cairo_scaled_font_t). CairoScaledFont provides a bridge between Smalltalk/X font API and Cairo the same way CairoGraphicsContext provides a bridge bewtween Smalltalk/X drawing API and Cairo. Don't use Cairo's "toy" text API to select font. Under X11, use FontConfig to select a proper font. However, for actual text rendering and measurements, Cairo's "toy" API is still used - it seems to be good enough, certainly as good as Core X11 / Xft text rendering for Latin-based left-to-right languages. At this point a TextEditView can be rendered using Cairo.

                CAVEAT: This is bit dangerous, as on 64bit OS, if ia32 libs are
                not installed byt 64bit sqlite libs are, then 64bit libs are found
                and when a function is called, segfault will occur!!

                Q: Is there a way how to figure out if the OS itself is 32bit,
                regardles on CPU?"
