Meanwhile, I have been digging a bit deeper. It seems that it is, indeed
the four byte characters that don't show properly. But what shows is a
single box, not two spurious characters. It is like the font didn't have
a glyph for that value, but, I can see from the terminal, most fonts do,
and it doesn't matter which I try.
I have put this message on irc at #cairo

I am having trouble with cairo_show_text() when I have a four byte utf-8
character to display. The program (denemo) uses bind_textdomain_codeset
(PACKAGE, "UTF-8"); in main, and I have the locale set to .utf8 in the
environment, but I only get two byte characters printing from cairo.
Debug output in the terminal renders the 4-byte utf8 correctly. Any
ideas?

but it seems I am also having trouble with my internet connection, so if
anyone else can ask around that would be good.
