Well, it really just means that :).  If pango can't find any fonts, it returns 
NULL from that function.  I don't know *why* it failed to find any.  But I 
know that pango simply asks fontconfig to give it a font.  So fontconfig 
failed to find any fonts.  That's as much I can tell.  I don't really know how 
fontconfig works on windows.
