Hi Davide, welcome to cairo!

If I understand that correctly, you're not seeing the bug at all with
1.4.12? That's quite encouraging as we put a lot of OSX-specific fixes
into the 1.4.12 release.

Meanwhile, I saw that you've posted another message to the mailing
list. It did not get delivered because it had a large file attachment,
(much larger than 100k or so). Could you please resend that with
either a smaller attachment, or else post the large attachment
somewhere and email a link to it?

Thanks, and have fun with cairo!
