Pango-ERROR **: Unable to create Win32 cairo scaled font.

[Johannes Hausensteiner <johau gmx net>]

Hi there!

I am trying to port a program from Linux to Win32. Finally it compiles,
but when I start it a message box "Pango-ERROR **: Unable to create 
Win32 cairo scaled font." appears and it closes. Strange thing is
that this seems to happen even before main() in my application. When
I set a breakpoint to the first statement in main() this is not
reached.
I am running Windows XP and GTK runtime 2.10.6 (the latest installer
package from gimp-win.sourceforge.net. My compiler is MinGW 3.1.0-1
and I am using MinGW Developer Studio from www.parinyasoft.com with
the GTK developer package 2.6.4.
I searched the net but mostly found posts about that this happens
when using obsolete Windows versions.

An hint is appreciated. Thanks!

Johannes
