Unfortunately I cannot find the corresponding C++ construct for the "Pango.cairo_show_layout()" call in Dov's Vala code. Would that be a pangocairo function? I could not find C++ bindings for the pangocairo lib. Are there any? However, I'm not sure if the code snippet below is correct at all, I'm (unfortunately) new to Pango and Cairo...
