Pango doesn't need explicit initialization.  Just make sure
g_type_init() is called.  If you use gtk, that's already the case.

pango_itemize() followed by pango_shape().

pango_win32_render() is one.  I suggest you use pangocairo backend
though, in which case pango_cairo_show_glyph_string() does it all.  You
can create a cairo_surface from an HDC using
cairo_win32_surface_create().
