Aaargh... the bug was mine. My apologies. For measuring postion to  
index I used an offscreen graphic device but with a width smaller  
than my on screen area. This meant the tabstops were not set up  
properly and Pango apparently falls back to 8 spaces per tab when tab  
stops are exhausted.

Which leads to a feature request: wouldn't it be nice to have a  
'pango_tab_array_set_default_tab_width' where you can set this default?
