Text on path with spaces causes an abort trap using cairosvg version 1.0.20 (current on PyPi)
Replicated using cairo versions 1.14, 1.15, and current HEAD (e825f59)
I'm uncertain if this is an upstream bug in cairo...
In cairo HEAD:
> cairosvg -o test.pdf test. svg
Assertion failed: (!scaled_font->cache_frozen), function _cairo_scaled_glyph_page_destroy, file cairo-scaled-font.c, line 459.
[1] 50892 abort cairosvg -o test.pdf test.svg
yields the above error message and produces no output
cairosvg -o test-no-spaces.pdf test-no-spaces.svg works fine.
Daven,
If you are on a Mac (OS X), I think I have found a fix. It is Cairo which does not handle 'empty' glyphs correctly (on OS X). The fix I applied is to prevent rendering of spaces. It is in the current CairoSVG version.
