It is not recommended to use Athens with 1.4 version.
The problem is Freetype integration:
 on image save, a freetype code destroying all freetype faces,
while cairo might want keep using them -> VM crash.
I changed this in 2.0 to invalidate handles at image boot but not
during image save.

So, sure thing, if you not going to use fonts or won't save image you
can use Athens on 1.4 image.
