Hi Alan, My test results for pscairo.
Ubuntu edgy libpango1.0-dev 1.14.5-0ubuntu1 libcairo2-dev 1.2.4-1ubuntu2 Plots appear ok, but the text is tiny to the point of being unreadable. Ubuntu gutsy (latest stable) libpango1.0-dev 1.18.3-0ubuntu1 libcairo2-dev 1.4.10-1ubuntu4 A large number of the plots are "missing" parts of the image. Sounds like the same issues you have with Debian testing - pretty much the same version. Doesn't look terribly good.
