Follow-up Comment #1:

First thank you for your comments and for using the expermintal cairo backend
of GNUstep.
The change to cairo 1.4 was needed to get the clipping working correctly,
change on 2007-09-06 (I am not sure at which version cairo added groups, so
perhaps there is another dependency). Without proper clipping this backend was
useless. Of course you are right, we should check and warn about outdated
version of cairo.
The problem with cairo 1.4.10 should be fixed in SVN (change on 2007-09-09),
at least that was what I was told. I am using cairo 1.4.6 myself (actually on
Suse 10.2 just like you). Maybe I should upgrade and test myself.

Your problem with the font names is a bit of a mystery to me. We there use
the same code to provide default font names as the art backend, but setting
the values in the user defaults is always a solution here.
