The code snippet on http://cairographics.org/freetypepython/ works fine with ubuntu 9.10 amd64 and libcairo2 1.8, but gives segmentation fault with 10.10 and cairo 1.10. Segfault happens on _cairo_so.cairo_set_font_face (cairo_t, cr_face) call.
Found a fix myself. http://cairographics.org/freetypepython/ updated.
