Description Dave Smith 2006-11-11 09:12:11 UTC 
We found a bug when u call function text_extents with empty string.
print ctx.text_extents('')[2:4]
Same problem is with function show_text. 
This results in MemoryError on Windows system.
I was using cairo 1.2.6 and pycario 1.2.2-2
This works fine on linux systems.

Can you provide a minimal test program which works on Linux and fails on Windows.
Comment 2 Behdad Esfahbod 2007-01-29 13:14:35 UTC 
This may have been a bug in cairo.  Should be fixed with latest 1.3.x snapshots.
Comment 3 Steve Chaplin 2007-01-29 19:10:42 UTC 
Close bug, assuming it was a cairo bug which has been fixed.
