PangoFonts are associated to homogeneous (coverage map-wise) runs of Glyphs
 (PangoGlyphString, IIRC)
PangoFontDescriptions are associated with PangoLayouts (and PangoLayoutLines).
        
I don't believe we really want to be so intimate with Pango (except in a
couple renderers, probably, but probably not renderer_gdk) that we want to
ever deal with PangoFonts.

Can you point me to a quick, comprehensive and well-written primer on
GObject ?
