Bug Description

Impact
------
Ubuntu 23.10 includes cairo 1.17.8, the final pre-release snapshot of what eventually became the stable 1.18.0. It would be nicer to include the stable release than a beta release.

Debian's autopkgtests completed successfully.

Detailed changelog
------------------
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/cairo/cairo/-/compare/1.17.8...1.18.0

Why This Didn't Land Sooner
--------------------------
I was told by cairo upstream developers to expect cairo 1.18.0 in August 2023. It was released September 23 instead.

cairo 1.17.8 has an unfortunate regression reported at https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/cairo/cairo/-/issues/806 ("Font Family corrupted string on export").
Hopefully, Ubuntu 23.10 can have this bug fixed by the time of its official release.
