Hello Adrian,

I tried to use the new cairo in Windows. What I did was:
- installing inkscape 0.48
- downloading libcairo-2.dll and libpng14-14.dll from http://www.gtk.org/download-windows.html and copying them to the program folder of inkscape (thus replacing the existing libcairo-2.dll)
- saving a picture with text from inkscape as an eps

The eps is obviously exported with the new cairo version (1.10.0 which should be the latest). Before, it was 1.8.8. Unfortunately the text is still in the ascii-notation.

Maybe you can help me with this. Which cairo version did you use, when you said that cairo now uses a (text)TJ notation?
Do I need any special settings when saving as an eps?

Thanks
   Thomas

P.S. the saved eps looks s/th like this:

(it should contain one text "Hallo" and one "\command")

%!PS-Adobe-3.0 EPSF-3.0
