FPC has the API wrapper for Cairo lib. I am studying its dependencies
and maybe use it in a Linux server with no X Window installed, for
generating PDFs.
Cairo is advertized to support multiple output devices, including X
Window, image buffers, PostScript, PDF, and SVG file output.
I understand it means that X Window is required only for the X Window backend.
PDF or SVG backends should not require X Window.
However on my Linux Mint 17 libcairo has a dependency for libX11.so.6.
