Description
When run in MAC, The text appears fine in svg, but when converted to pdf or png, the text appears as blocks.
[test.pdf](https://github.com/Kozea/CairoSVG/files/9468909/test.pdf)
But when run on windows, the text is visible.
Is there a way to get it working in MAC, or any dependencies that I'm missing? Any suggestions would help.
Thank you

Research direction
Start with the attached test SVG and compare CairoSVG's PDF and PNG conversion on macOS with the working Windows output. Investigate the platform-specific rendering or dependency difference, and consider the issue resolved when Arabic text renders correctly in both PDF and PNG output on macOS.
