Hi all,

I sent a mail to Cairo's maillist about this issue: https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/380501

Adrian Johnson provided a patch for Cairo that seems to solve our problem. How to proceed?

Thanks, Johan

Cairo does not provide any means to override the automatically generated BoundingBox comment.

In that case, I want to file a feature request to either disable automatic calculation of boundingbox, or to provide a means to override it. Where should I file our request?

Thanks, Johan

The attached patch allows the cairo generated %%BoundingBox and %%PageBoundingBox comments to be overridden using the cairo_ps_surface_dsc_comment() API.

eg

surface = cairo_ps_surface_create() cairo_ps_surface_dsc_comment(surface, %%BoundingBox: 100 100 200 200"); cairo_ps_dsc_begin_page(surface); cairo_ps_surface_dsc_comment(surface, %%PageBoundingBox: 100 100 200 200");

Please test to see if this meets your requirements.
