Pango: Ft2 versus Xft fonts

[Robert Roebling t-online de (Robert Roebling)]

  Hi,

I am trying to teach my programme to print using Pango
so that I get somewhat closer to WYSIWYG for GTK 2.0.
A quick search on google reveals that I am not the
only one looking for solutions to this problem. In
any case, my current approach is to use Pango's FT2
engine to draw outlines which I then send to a PostScript
file. This works well, but my problem is that the 
FT2 backend doesn't use the same fonts as the Xft
backend (surprise!). So the obvious question is how
I can teach Pango FT2 to use the same fonts as the
Pango Xft version?

Thanks for any info,

  Robert
