Cairo holds a large (256) scaled-font holdover cache because a lot of
applications create, destroy and then recreate the small working set of fonts
regularly. However, in situations such as this you will then need to exercise
poppler with a large number of fonts before you see evictions. During shutdown,
in order to fully clean up global caches you need to call
cairo_debug_reset_static_data() [as well as all the other per library cleanup
routines]. This is only recommended during leak checking, at all other times is
simply more efficient to let the OS reap the resources upon exit().

Since the test case is behaving exactly as designed, I do not see the bug...
