Bug 14945

I guess it should be possible, by having a defs element before each page.

I ran into the same issue. Can you please explain your solution and how to implement it?

cairo_status_t writeSvg(void *closure, const unsigned char *data, unsigned int length)
{
  ...
}
...
void main() {
  cairo_surface_t *surface=0;
  cairo_t *cr=0;

  surface = cairo_svg_surface_create_for_stream(writeSvg, &truncated, 390, 60);
  cr = cairo_create(surface);

  cairo_set_source_rgb(cr, 0, 0, 0);
  cairo_select_font_face(cr, "Sans", CAIRO_FONT_SLANT_NORMAL, CAIRO_FONT_WEIGHT_NORMAL);
  cairo_set_font_size(cr, 40.0);

  cairo_move_to(cr, 10.0, 50.0);
  cairo_show_text(cr, "Hello World.");
  
  cairo_show_page(cr); // writeSvg not invoked here!

  cairo_move_to(cr, 10.0, 50.0);
  cairo_show_text(cr, "Knowledge is Power.");

  cairo_surface_destroy(surface);
  cairo_destroy(cr); // writeSvg invoked here!

  ...
}
