The correct spelling of cairo is described here http://lists.cairographics.org/archives/cairo/2005-May/003853.html.
Image:Cairo banner.svg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Does somebody know about the relation of cairo to the OpenVG Standard? Should that be mentioned as similiar technology? --Tali (talk) 09:27, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
As a programmer I could vaguely guess what Cairo is for at a first glance through article, but I do not think this article makes it clear to someone not versed in the field. Is there a way the purpose of cairo could be made more clear, perhaps through simple examples? —Preceding unsigned comment added by CallipygianSchoolGirl (talk • contribs) 04:45, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
I don't think this is true. It uses the sources of freetype but only if you compile it with TrueType hinting. FontForge uses only the X toolkit for its own graphics and fonts. VG ☎ 18:05, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

The info box lists 1.12.18 as a 'Preview Release', but actually it was a Stable Release. It was the last stable release on the old 1.12 series, and was just bugfixes. It may not be worth even mentioniong; the current Stable Release is 1.14.2, and should be preferred for most users. — Preceding unsigned comment added by BryceHarrington (talk • contribs) 20:36, 6 April 2015 (UTC)
