Although I've not tested for the reproduction of the issue,<br>
the problem you reported reminds me a regression in 1.14.2<br>
which is resolved in the latest git head (fixed on 2015-04-24).<br>
The discussion is here (see the message posted on 2015-03-16,<br>
from Inkscape developer).<br>
<a href="https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=84324" target="_blank">https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=84324</a><br>
Unfortunately, there are no screenshots, I don't know how<br>
the regression appear on the Inkscape.<br>
<br>
Could you try the latest git head to assure if it is yet<br>
another regression?<br>
<br>

Hi,<br>
<br>
Because there was a discussion whether an obsolete Mac OS X<br>
function to extract an outline data from a glyph in font<br>
should be kept (to support legacy platform) or replaced by<br>
newer function (for better maintenancability), I'm much<br>
interested in this issue (although my hands are very slow).<br>
I want to try to reproduce the problem. Could you post the<br>
SVG that you used?<br>
<br>

Hello,<br>
<br>
I recently upgraded to Cairo 1.14.2 (installed via Homebrew) on my Mac OS X<br>
(latest) system. I am using it via CairoSVG to create PDF graphics. The<br>
upgrade broke the glyph rendering of CairoSVG, resulting in grossly<br>
too-large font glyphs (with the same baseline/spacing as prior, leading to<br>
compressed text). I have tried building from source and relinking. An<br>
example of the output is shown below.<br>
<br>
Downgrading to cairo 1.12.16 fixes the issue (see attached), although the<br>
following warning is raised (which does not appear in 1.14):<br>
<br>
May 4 18:37:47 Daven-Quinn python2.7[993] <Error>: The function<br>
‘CGFontGetGlyphPaths’ is obsolete and will be removed in an upcoming<br>
update. Unfortunately, this application, or a library it uses, is using<br>
this obsolete function, and is thereby contributing to an overall<br>
degradation of system performance.<br>
<br>
<br>
Any insights on a possible fix?<br>
<br>

note: I tried sending with the below-linked files as attachments, but it<br>
was over the 150 kB (!) limit for message size, so I'm not sure if the<br>
email got through. A graphics library should accept issues in graphical<br>
form! It seems like source-control should be migrated to a newer platform<br>
to ease community contributions.<br>
