[cairo] cairo Digest, Vol 52, Issue 21

[Simon Bächler]

Hi Gerdus

No. It crashes as well.
But I found a workaround. It's not that great but at least it stops 
crashing.

I added the following two lines:

self.basename=self.basename.decode("unicode_escape","ignore")
self.basename=self.basename.encode("ascii","ignore")

self.surface2.write_to_png(self.basename)

Now special characters are just left out which is sad. Apparently the 
function cannot deal with those.

Regards
Simon
