The suggested fix for the blocks of white and black is to use cairo_win32_printing_surface_create() instead of cairo_win32_surface_create(). You need to patch gtk for that, not Inkscape.
Attaching a new version of the font issue patch

The suggested fix for the blocks of white and black is to use cairo_win32_ printing_ surface_ create( ) instead of cairo_win32_ surface_ create( ). You need to patch gtk for that, not Inkscape.
