My educated guess is that 0xb78086a0 is an error surface, on which we attempt to initialize the font_options, hence the SIGSEGV.

Can you test this? (If I am right, you still won't see the desired result but the crash should be resolved.)

    [cairo-surface] Check for the error surface in _get_font_options()

    cairo_surface_get_font_options() has the side effect of initialising the
    font options on the surface, but fails to check that the surface is
    valid first. Therefore if we are passed a read-only error object, we will
    trigger a segmentation fault.

    Most likely this is the bug behind:
