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

[suzuki toshiya]

Hi,

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

Could you try the latest git head to assure if it is yet
another regression?

Regards,
mpsuzuki
