Thanks. I agree it's largely a Cairo issue at this point, but the decision to move to Cairo for SVG output has broken existing processes (for me, at least) with no workaround except downgrading -- unless that user-submitted Cairo patch works, which I will look into. I just wanted to see if anyone else was concerned about this and had any thoughts, but I will also try to talk to the Cairo group about it. However, the latest release of Cairo (1.10.2), came out nearly a year ago, so I'm not sure how actively it is currently being developed.
