Cairo obviously has expanded PostScript use remarkably. It is  
embedding the TT font (large number of glyphs), as it should, and it  
seems to create one or more arbitrary encodings to encode just the  
characters used. Clever! (Could you send me privately this PS file?  
You don't need to print anything, lprm will remove anything from the  
queue.)

I cannot explain a thing on this issue, but I can tell that Cairo is  
part of GNOME/GTK – and nowhere in GNU Emacs code some Cairo function  
is used. So it's some part of GTK which needs Cairo functions.
