[Fontforge-devel] Bug in cairo 1.2 that affects fontforge...

[George W. <gw...@si...>]

Michal N. discovered a nifty little bug in old versions of cairo
(present in 1.2, fixed in 1.6) where some of fontforge's icons show up
as completely transparent (that is, absolutely nothing gets drawn).

So if fontforge's "Open Fonts" dialog has a blank button in the upper
left corner (instead of a picture of a house) you might want to upgrade
to a newer version of cairo.

(I don't have 1.4, so I don't know if the bug has been fixed in it or
not, but it does appear fixed in 1.6)
