The cairo backend uses the font that are installed for the
use of the
FreeType library. So no special handling for fonts is
needed. But
remember, the cairo backend is still experimental.

For the art backend all the extra stuff for fonts isn't to
complicated
either. What is there are just normal PS fonts with all the
metric files
and a mapping to Postscript font names. Creating this extra
information
for an existing font should not be to complicated.

Cheers,
Fred
