Re: Has the pango_itemize call changed since libpango 1.8? We now get severe valgrind issues (invalid read and others) associated with this call.

The actual issue is what is the proper way to call pango_itemize, and I
think compiling old libraries (with the emphasis on the plural because
libpango has many library dependencies) to test our existing code is an
extremely uncertain way to find out the answer to that question.

Thanks for that helpful tip.  Does anybody have a pointer to actual working
code that uses these PangoContext setters to establish the first argument to
pango-itemize?
