Naturally.
As such, cairo lets you explicitly choose what you want to draw by
setting one of the following values in your font options:
CAIRO_ANTIALIAS_NONE: Use a bilevel alpha mask.
CAIRO_ANTIALIAS_GRAY: Perform single-color antialiasing (using
shades of gray for black text on a white background, for example).
CAIRO_ANTIALIAS_SUBPIXEL: Perform antialiasing by taking
advantage of the order of subpixel elements on devices
such as LCD panels
And most importantly, the default value is as follows:
CAIRO_ANTIALIAS_DEFAULT: Use the default antialiasing for
the subsystem and target device
So, (excepting bugs), you should really have to go out of your way to
get cairo to do the wrong thing here.
