To put this another way, there are several places in cairo (and
pixman) which make the assumption that "fonts are collections of
masks".
Fonts with color glyphs invalidate this assumption, which is why these
patches are a bit ugly.

Do you have advice on how to handle this nicely in the cairo architecture ?
