Hi Behdad.

Ok, I'll go for Pango 1.26.0, and you assumption is correct, the  
backend is pangoft2.

It seems that get_shaper_and_font_foreach decides to alter the  
PangoFont object, I haven't digged thoroughly into it yet, but would  
you assume some measures have been done in that direction?

Also some very old postings on the internet suggests that PangoCairo  
is more than 50% slower than the PangoFT combination, I really hope  
that isn't the case..
