why is pango_font_description_set_* functions leaking

[nerdy <nerds_ebook1 yahoo com>]

Hello all,

I found that the functions pango_font_description_set_family and pango_font_description_set_size are leaking memory. I am using pango version 1.4.0.

fontdesc =  pango_font_description_new();
pango_font_description_set_family(fontdesc,"courier");
pango_font_description_set_size(fontdesc,size*PANGO_SCALE);
pango_font_description_free (fontdesc);

When i ran the program (pasted below) and saw the memory usage profile from top command, i see that a the program allocates a lot of memory continuously. When i commented out the statements that i suspect are leaky, i dont see any contiuous memory allocation. Is this behaviour typical of pango or am i missing something. Please clarify my doubt.

Thanks in advance,
nerdy
