It must have been in some release:

	otool -L /usr/local/bin/emacs-28.0.50 | grep cairo
		/opt/X11/lib/libcairo.2.dylib (compatibility version 11403.0.0, current version 11403.6.0)

/usr/local/bin/emacs-28.0.50 is a version of GNU Emacs that I built nine days ago with XQuartz-2.8.0_rc2. And it stopped working when I installed RC3.

GNU Emacs uses Cairo and Harfbuzz for character shaping when outputting text. Actually both would be needed. Mostly I am using the libraries from MacPorts, so there is no real need for them in XQuartz.
