Pango 1.2.5 Bugs

["Edward H. Trager" <ehtrager umich edu>]

Hi,

(1) PANGO 1.2.5 THAI RENDERING BUG

In this mailing list on September 3rd Khun Theppitak noted a serious bug in Pango 1.2.5's Thai
XFT module which I (and certainly others) have also noticed.  Can Khun Theppitak or someone
please tell me where I can get the accepted fix for this bug?  Has a patch been submitted in
CVS yet?

(2) PANGO 1.2.5  4X SCALING BUG

I am working on bug fixes in some software written by a friend of mine which obtains glyph 
outlines from TrueType fonts via Pango and Freetype2.  When I used libpangoft2 v.1.2.3, 
everything worked fine.  But with libpangoft2 v. 1.2.5, glyph outlines are erroneously scaled 
four times larger than before!

Has anyone else noticed this bug? Can someone clue me in to what I need to do to fix it?  Either
this is a real bug in Pango 1.2.5, or else it is a bug in our software not doing proper 
initialization.  Since I am completely new to developing with Pango, I'm not sure which it is.
Has anyone else noticed a similar phenomenon?  Any leads would be most welcome!
