> Yes, this is expected, but undesirable. It's a known issue, cairo keeps the font cached and the user data callback is never called, because the font is not destroyed. Adding a cairo_font_face_finish() function similar to other cairo APIs would solve the problem, See this cairo bug:

I agree this should be the similar issue. But the question is whether CAIRO would like to provide an extra API or not? If yes, then when?  If not, what else can we do on the WebKit side as a work around. Thanks a lot.
