Must you use Cairo?  I'm just asking, because if Cairo is not a
requirement then very good alternatives exits.

eg: I've used AggPas (one included with fpGUI as it is more up to date
than the Lazarus one) in console and CGI apps to generate graphs and
images (with or without text) - no dependencies on GUI toolkits or
external libraries.

For PDF output, again fpGUI includes an excellent custom written PDF
engine which I have used for reporting in my commercial software. It has
some excellent features other pascal based PDF engines don't have. I
believe Michael van Canneyt also used it as the basis for the new PDF
engine included with FPC trunk.
