Some more suggestions on a possible workaround, from the cairo bugzilla: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=31589#c3
-- excerpt -- If you want ghosted text rendered at 0.5 alpha, then just render the text at 0.5 alpha. This avoids all use of the stroker. :) There are likely other methods to get shadows or ghosted text suitable for you, not involving the stroker, so if using a temporary image surface isn't a viable option, then perhaps investigating those in the context of your app might be a way forward? Please drop by the #cairo irc channel on freenode or post to the cairo-l mailing list if feel like it. -- end excerpt -- -- Using higher cpu usage https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/655024 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
