Update to cairo 1.14.4 when released to fix OSX font rendering
Last modified: 2017-05-17 00:52:05 UTC
== This was originally created a bug #752148 == After investigation, it was found that the rendering issue with coretext backend in Pango was due to a bug in Cairo that has been fixed upstream. It is reported that Cairo 1.14.4 is due soon, and should fix this issue (hence fixing textoverlay elements in GStreamer on OS X with the CoreText backend).

We now have 1.14.8 in cerbero so this should in theory not be an issue anymore.
