Non-installed fonts with Pango

[Eddie Hillenbrand <eh88 nau edu>]

How do you use a font that is not available on the system to layout  
text with Pango? I basically want to load a font from a file.

I can do this with Cairo using FreeType routines, but there doesn't  
appear to be a Pango equivalent to  
cairo_ft_font_face_create_for_ft_face().

I have tried setting the font using cairo and not using  
pango_layout_set_font_description() when I create the layout, but that  
just displays text in the default serif font.

Thanks,

Eddie
