I got success! See http://lists.cairographics.org/archives/cairo/2007-December/012187.html . I now get good results for all pscairo examples by applying three patches (that are expected to be in the forthcoming cairo-1.4.14) to cairo-1.4.12. So the problem is solved other than the expected delay in propagating these fixes to Linux distributions and elsewhere. Big personal sigh of relief here since I am using pscairo extensively in my research work. Alan __________________________ Alan W.
