Package: libcairo2
Version: 1.14.0-2.1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

Since upgrading to cairo 1.14.0 I am seeing missing text in the postscript output
when using pdftocairo to convert pdfs to postscript. Downgrading to version
1.12.2-3 fixes the bug.

Steps to reproduce:
 $ wget http://ncirs.edu.au/news/August-Newsletter-2014.pdf
 $ pdftocairo -ps August-Newsletter-2014.pdf
 $ evince August-Newsletter-2014.*

Compare the text in the pdf and ps files on page 7 in the paragraph starting with
"12 years on". Most of the last line of this paragraph is missing.

This bug is reproducable with many other pdfs.
