I did forget to mention that you have to hack the cairo library for now. The GNUstep backend uses some cairo functions that are not exported by cairo. These are: _cairo_toy_font_face_create _cairo_scaled_font_text_to_glyphs What I did to get cairo to export these functions was to redefine cairo_private in cairoint.h to be empty. I will set up a mail to the cairo maintainer and ask for a better solution.
