[cairo] Fwd: Cairo 1.14 error on OS X 10.10.3 Yosemite

[suzuki toshiya]

Hi,

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

Regards,
mpsuzuki
