Bug Description
I have several SVG files that fail to completely render to PDF and EPS on the printer. When I select save as and choose PDF only part of the image is visible in a PDF reader. It also fails to print completely to a postscript printer. Export to PNG seems to work fine. The file is not very complex and I ran it through the wikipedia SVG checker and it said the file was fine.

AFAICT the underlying issue is that cairo >= 1.12.4 omits paths and
shapes with very small (thin) stroke-widths (apparently regardless of
whether or not they also have a fill defined): the figure exports just
ok to PDF after removing all strokes from the paths inside the main
group with id "g4562".
Different output depending on cairo version:
Attached are two PDFs exported with Inkscape 0.91+devel r14224 on OS X
10.7.5 (via CLI, default export settings), one using older cairo 1.12.2
(not affected), one with latest cairo 1.14.2 (affected).
AFAICT whether or not the commercial font 'FrizQuadrata BT Bold Italic'
is installed on the local system does not matter.
