Description ~suv 2009-11-02 03:22:51 UTC

PS/EPS/PDF files created with Inkscape 0.47pre versions on win32 platforms using the cairo renderer are far bigger in size than the same SVG files exported with the same Inkscape version on osx.

«Cairo should be merging multiple uses of the same font into the same subset.»

Please see the discussion in these two Inkscape bug reports for more details:

Bug #469180 in Inkscape: “Significant Differences in exported File Size from 0.46 to 0.47pre3/4”: <https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/469180>
