Hmm. I have an important outstanding patch that changes the API 
for PangoFT2. Only users are GtkFB (me), Canvas (me) and the Gimp (sven 
seemed ok with this change, although he has not commented on the details 
yet). The normal parts of the pango API are unchanged.

I'm awaiting review by owen on this though.
