Pango is a text rendering _library_ used by GTK+; there is
no central server.

All GTK+ (version 2) applications take advantage of the full set
of capabilities of Pango.

Applications not using the GTK+ toolkit will typically not get any
benefit from having Pango installed. 

(It is theoretically possible to add Pango support to any 
application, but currently the GTK+ toolkit is the main user
of Pango.)

I hope this answers your questions.
