I tried to confirm if Pango was being used appropriately by visual comparison with "cairosimple" [1]. [1] https://developer.gnome.org/pango/unstable/pango-Cairo-Rendering.html -- look for Example 1. * I was not able to find a mistake. I don't trust my visual comparison enough, though. * Considering that the only difference between cairo-pdf and cairo-alpha-png is the cairo_*_surface_create() call and that cairosimple also renders to a PNG file, I considered cairosimple should failed too, so I compiled and cairosimple. Text rendered correctly. With this, I'm not sure it's a bug with Cairo. _______________________________________________ dia-list mailing list dia-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/dia-list FAQ at http://live.gnome.org/Dia/Faq Main page at http://live.gnome.org/Dia
