I’m thinking this example <http://cairographics.org/cookbook/freetypepython/> of how to fudge using FreeType fonts with Pycairo should be deprecated in its present form. Because it doesn’t do the set_user_data dance, the FreeType face will not be correctly disposed when the Cairo font face is disposed. Fixing this will make the example even more fiddly than it is already. Is it time to admit that Pycairo is a dead project? I did look at trying to fix it up, and decided that having to write the translation layer in C was just too much work. -- cairo mailing list [email protected] http://lists.cairographics.org/mailman/listinfo/cairo
