Description Geoff Richards 2008-10-12 17:16:09 UTC 
The 'cairo_scaled_font_create' function is documented as accepting NULL for it's cairo_font_options_t parameter.  The doc comments above it say:

   "... A %NULL pointer will be interpreted as meaning the default options."

but actually a NULL value will cause it to return an object in an error state, because it calls 'cairo_font_options_status' which returns a CAIRO_STATUS_NULL_POINTER error.

Thankyou for the bug report. We did indeed forget to correct the documentation after the aborted attempt to modify its behaviour during 1.7 (or was it 1.5?).
