Cairo.jl currently fails PkgEval because Pango doesn't like a system without fonts (such as the bare rootfs used by PkgEval):

This isn't really a Cairo.jl issue, but it does prevent the package (and downstream packages like Gadfly.jl) to get monitored by PkgEval, which is bad. For now, I've implemented a workaround in PkgEval.jl, https://github.com/JuliaCI/PkgEval.jl/pull/154, providing a simple font in the rootfs we use. However, it would be better to fix this without a workaround. Note that I'm not asking for a hack in the Cairo.jl test suite (ENV["PkgEval"] && download(...)), but rather a fix to Cairo.jl (or the underlying libraries) so that this doesn't segfault, even on a badly-configured system.
I also came across https://gitlab.alpinelinux.org/alpine/aports/-/issues/13686 which noted that this is a Pango bug fixed in Pango 1.50.7, but the JLL is already using a newer version (and GNOME's gitlab seems down so I can't inspect the actual fix)...
