I got it working. The problem was different versions of some of the components
of the libpango and gtk2.0 packages were installed. I found it was caused by
package-management dependency bugs, so instead of using apt-get, i downloaded
the debs i needed into /var/cache/apt/archives and installed them with dpkg -i.
I've now got a /etc/pango/pangox.aliases that contains the aliases for the 'sans'
class.
