I can conform that this small script generates a PDF where
copy-and-paste works as expected (I have cairo version 1.16.0
installed on my GNU/Linux system).  Looking into the uncompressed
version of PDF (created with `pdftk`) I see that it contains proper
ToUnicode cmaps for the two fonts.

Does `-dbackend=cairo` pass markup strings directly to Cairo?
