Here is the score now: pango 1.14.5 and cairo 1.2.4 are fine except for tiny text (Andrew).
pango 1.15.5 and cairo 1.2.6 are fine (Hazen PPC/64). *pango 1.16.4 and cairo 1.4.6 are fine (Alan Intel/32). *pango 1.16.4 and cairo 1.4.6 have major issues (Alan Intel/64). pango 1.16.5 and cairo 1.4.10 are fine (Hazen, Intel/32). pango 1.18.3 and cairo 1.4.10 have major issues (both Alan Intel/64 and Andrew) Andrew, what platforms did you do your tests on? Those first two (asterisked) results for me were done with identical source code for the complete stack of pango-related libraries (about 15 of them). The stack for the first good result was built with jhbuild on my Debian sarge Intel 32-bit system some time ago. The stack for the second bad result was built today with jhbuild on my Debian testing Intel 64-bit system. (jhbuild is a GNOME build system that organizes autotools builds for all GNOME library components). For today's jhbuild results with Intel/64, most one-page plots were fine, but some were bad, In particular x03c.pscairo is incomplete and x24c.pscairo is seriously incomplete (just a smooth white background). (Most multipage plots were bad, but I want to focus on the bad single-page results since that is a simpler situation.) I don't think these bad single-page results are due to some problem with the gv viewer. I have converted x03c.pscairo to EPS form with the perl script ps2eps (which does not depend on gs/gv except to calculate the bounding box), and the EPS form is still missing the same pieces. I have also tried using the ImageMagick convert programme, but that uses gs, and it errors out (which is what I think is happening with gv as well which is just a GUI front-end to gs). Andrew, do you confirm those same bad results for x03c.pscairo and x24c.pscairo for pango 1.18.3...? Hazen, do you confirm good viewing results for those same plots? Your PPC/64 result above is the only 64-bit result that appears to have worked so far which is why I am asking for a specific confirmation. Also, are you viewing with gv or some other viewer? Orion, I understand you also have access to a 64-bit platform so I am most interested in your x03c.pscairo and x24c.pscairo viewing results for that case. Alan __________________________ Alan W.
