Currently in 1.3-svn there exist no way of matching cairo fonts with FLTK ones. Also the only platform independent way of using fonts in cairo context with FLTK is through the "toy" font api (which is only supposed to be used for simple testing according to official cairo docs) In order to use text rendering with fltk-cairo I thus propose the method cairo_font_face_t* fl_cairo_font_reference(Fl_Font); which returns a reference to supplied FLTK font handle. This also have the positive side effect of making cairo_test.cxx render identically on all three cairo platforms. Patch with implementation for all platforms is attached and tested.

Not essential for the 1.3.0 release. Temporarily moved to 1.4 .
