Indeed using cairo_paint() may force rasterization I think.
I have used that operation only for screen output yet, so I am not sure
what happens to vectors. Maybe you can avoid cairo_paint(). I am using
it currently for translucent effects and merging background and
foreground (http://ssalewski.de/PetEd.html.en) Maybe I have to modify my
drawing routine to avoid cairo_paint() for true vectors in SVG and PDF
output. I hope one of the developers may comment on this tomorrow.
