yes, i'm aware, i mailed havoc about those, as i don't actually know
what his tabs are about.
for the font description however, BOXED or POINTER is a pretty bad choice,
instead, he should take something like STRING and then internally use
pango_font_description_from_string()/pango_font_description_to_string().
