Just a note that I'm seeing a core dump on the ft-font-create-for-ft-face "make
test" for cairo 1.0.2 on HP-UX 11.11 (PA-RISC) and 11.23 (PA-RISC and Itanium),
building with the latest stable cairo dependencies (e.g. freetype 2.1.10) and
gcc 4.0.2. I suspect it could be the same issue that Christian reported - the
same core dump also happens with cairo 1.0.0.

The following message (with patch) is also significant:

http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/cairo/2005-December/005814.html

The mail archive doesn't semm entirely reliable, so I'll include the message
inline here as well.

For this bug:
- I think this test is not correct. A fresh empty pattern is
*meaningless*, you should pass it to fontconfig as input pattern to
match a font, then fontconfig will return a resolved pattern. You can
use this pattern whatever you want.
- cairo_scaled_font_create should check font_face->status.

This is now fixed in CVS (1.1.1)

2006-01-20  Carl Worth  <cworth@cworth.org>

        * test/ft-font-create-for-ft-face.c: (draw): Fix test to use
        fontconfig properly so that the test no longer fails. Fixes bug
        #4674. (Thanks to sunmoon1997 for the fix).
