  Unless you want to access low-level 'internals' of OTFs, you can just
call pango_itemize() and pango_shape() with __Unicode__ strings (currently
in UTF-8). Needless to say, this is a very rough sketch with details
left out.

  Or, do you want to get a string of font-specific glyph indices  for
a string of Unicode characters and an OTF?

  Why don't you take a look at the API specification at
  http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/pango ?
