R help - Apr 2011 - Sweave Cairo driver?

Dear all
I would like to use Sweave with the Cairo() graphics device instead of
pdf(), since the former supports Unicode, allows for easier font
selection out of a greater range of available fonts, and automatically
embeds fonts into the resulting PDF.

Following this older discussion [1], has anyone come up with an Sweave
driver that uses the Cairo graphics device? Thank you
Liviu

This is simple in 2.13.0 RC, which allows you to add graphics devices 
for Sweave.

As does cairo_pdf(), builtin to R and more reliable in my experience.
