You're right cairo does do some stuff with postscript and pdf but I'm
running into the same problem. After a little searching I know you can
something like:
>>> import cairo
>>> surface = cairo.PDFSurface('foo.pdf', 300, 600)
>>> context = cairo.Context(surface)
>>>
but I'm not really sure how to display a cairo context or surface inside
gtk. I'm guessing you have to use a gtk.DrawingArea or something like
that but I haven't been able to figure it out...
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Chris
