    >   tagged items to other software.  For details on this new PDF
    >   functionality, see:

    [Announcement for 1.15.6][2]:
    
    > cairo snapshot 1.15.6 now available
    >
    > This new snapshot incorporates changes over the past half-year since the
    > 1.15.4 snapshot, including all the fixes from the 1.14 release series.
    >
    > The PDF code continues to be enhanced, and we're restored MacOSX 10.4
    > support.  Font-related fixes and improved error handling for X round out

    > Features and Enhancements
    > -------------------------
    > * Detect if variable fonts have synthesized bold/italic or non-default
    >   variants, and use a fallback font where needed.
    >
    > * Restore MacOSX 10.4 support.  Cairo had dropped 10.4 support when
    >   moving to the CoreText API.  Now we automatically detect which API to
    >   use via dynamic linking, so can resume supporting this older version
    >   of MacOSX.
