Behdad has requested I drop the "internal font face" commits. I think
that means these:

	commit d5a998387bcee6569d33375d592190f480f12712
	Author: Behdad Esfahbod <behdad at behdad.org>
	    Add an internal font face

	commit f8542dc9dd4dd0685f68381f21fa72dbddd8d682
	Author: Behdad Esfahbod <behdad at behdad.org>
	    [twin-font] Clean up font data by joining lines and closing paths

	commit 9662be8ee77e219908b64b82e828d577dcf120f0
	Author: Behdad Esfahbod <behdad at behdad.org>
	    [twin-font] Adjust ascent/descent

	commit 6578ac148ecdd236b0860923e5dee87291c9966c
	Author: Behdad Esfahbod <behdad at behdad.org>
	    [twin-font] Make the stroke lighter

	commit 8cf399b944294645833088ee2ac1313093948b66
	Author: Chris Wilson <chris at chris-wilson.co.uk>
	    [test] Add a test to exercise the internal twin font

So I'll rebase current master to make a new 1.8 branch that elides those
three commits, (and any others that I find are required0.

Since I asked, Chris has pushed out a lot of locking fixes based on
lockdep testing. It's always a bit scary to see MUTEX_LOCK/UNLOCK
changes right before a release, but I'm more comfortable that these are
based on problems and solutions verified with an automatic tool. And
it's lovely to see thing like:

	assert (CAIRO_HOLDS_MUTEX (scaled_font->mutex));

throughout the code. This makes the code more readable, and isn't just
decoration, but is the condition verified by lockdep.

I've also read through the big batch of changes that Chris just pushed,
and I'm willing to signoff on them.

Chris has said he has one last issue to fix, but I haven't heard
anything from anyone else. So once he says he's done, I'll go ahead and
create 1.8.2 as described above.
