Should a PangoFontDescription created by
pango_font_description_from_string be g_free'd after I use it to
create a font?  The doc is below the horizontal line below.

Also, is there an easy way to create a PangoFontDescription from a
string that looks like: "-*-helvetica-bold-r-*-*-12-*-*-*-*-*-*-*" ?

pango_font_description_from_string()

PangoFontDescription* pango_font_description_from_string(const char *str);

Creates a new font description from a string representation in the
form "[FAMILY-LIST] [STYLE-OPTIONS] [SIZE]", where FAMILY-LIST is a
comma separated list of families optionally terminated by a comma,
STYLE_OPTIONS is a whitespace separated list of words where each WORD
describes one of style, variant, weight, or stretch, and SIZE is an
decimal number (size in points). Any one of the options may be absent.
If FAMILY-LIST is absent, then the family_name field of the resulting
font description will be initialized to NULL. If STYLE-OPTIONS is
missing, then all style options will be set to the default values. If
SIZE is missing, the size in the resulting font description will be
set to 0.

str :   string representation of a font description.
Returns :       a new PangoFontDescription.
