Fix the "disappearing text" bug ------------------------------- With cairo 1.2.0 many people reported that text would disappear from applications, sometimes reappearing with mouse motion or selection. The text would disappear after the first space in a string of text. This bug was caused by an underlying bug in (very common) X servers, and only affected text rendered without antialiasing, (either a bitmap font or a vector font with antialiasing disabled). The bug was also exacerbated by a KDE migration bug that caused antialiasing to be disabled more than desired.
