Hello.
The Cairo 1.0.4 win32 backend fails when the screen
has a depth of 16 bpp. There is a test in
cairo_win32_surface_create() which selects a
cairo_format_t based on the current screen depth, and
it only works for a limited number of depths (32, 24,
8 and 1). Cairo 1.0.2 always uses CAIRO_FORMAT_RGB24
and that seems to work fine for a depth of 16 bpp.
Would it be ok to make the win32 backend default to
CAIRO_FORMAT_RGB24 when it can't find an exact match?
Also, it seems strange that the function returns with
a CAIRO_STATUS_NO_MEMORY error when memory has nothing
to do with it. Atleast that kept me confused for a
while.
I haven't tried any of the unstable releases, but
looking at the source code for Cairo 1.1.10 it seems
that CAIRO_FORMAT_RGB24 is chosen for 16 bpp.
Kind regards
Mikael Claesson
