Me too - I guess the procedure how libpango accesses libpangox
as following:

1. libpango dynamically loads plugin module: pango-basic-x.so
2. pango-basic-x.so is linked with libpangox-1.0.so

At present, I don't know good sample application which is
linked to and uses libpangox directly.

I suppose simple cast from PangoXFont to PangoFont is enough,
but I'm not sure whether pango font management (e.g. font lookup,
mapping, etc etc) system can handle the directly-imported
(I mean: PangoFont created without libpango API) PangoFont object
correctly.
