Re: Pango-1.0.2 released

[James Su <suzhe gnuchina org>]

Hi,
I cannot use pango along with freetype 2.1.0! Here is the error message:

** ERROR **: file pangoxft-font.c: line 738 (pango_xft_font_get_font): 
assertion failed: (charmap != face->num_charmaps)

It's OK to use with freetype 2.0.9

Is it a pango problem? Or it's a bug of freetype 2.1.0?

Regards
James Su
