I'm still struggling with Cairo text-rendering bugs, but I noticed that there's a new version of Cairo that's been released ( http://cairographics.org/news/cairo-1.14.4/), which may have fixed them. Presumably this doesn't need any change to Cairo.jl?
How would I install this? I don't think I use homebrew (outside Julia) because that creates problems with dual installations — Julia manages its own version of Homebrew?
