[cairo] [PATCH] Re: cairo-quartz-font.c: Non-public CGFontGetGlyphPath now deprecated

[Friedrich Beckmann]

Hi Bryce,

thank you for your response. A sentence for the problem statement could be:

The non-public CGFontGetGlyphPath function is deprecated in OSX 10.10 yosemite and results
in run-time problems for applications using cairo. The function is replaced with CoreText calls. 
This breaks support for OSX 10.4. 

However, please note that there was a discussion about using CoreText here:

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=84324

because it would break 10.4 support as far as I understand it. From my point of view breaking
10.4 when 10.10 which is the current OS version does not run is a problem that could/should be fixed later. 
During the discussion there was nobody who could even test 10.4 as there was no system available running 10.4. 

Friedrich
