pangocairo windows issues

[Ulrich von Zadow <coder c-base org>]

Hi,

I'm in the process of moving a codebase from pango-ft2 to pangocairo, and most things have gone smoothly. However, under windows, fonts don't look like they should. I have uploaded two images to show the difference:

Mac/Linux: http://www.libavg.de/attachment/ticket/262/testParaWords_Mac.png
Windows: http://www.libavg.de/attachment/ticket/262/testParaWords_Win.png

I'm selecting hinting styles using cairo_font_options_set_hint_style(pFontOptions, CAIRO_HINT_STYLE_SLIGHT); and
cairo_font_options_set_hint_metrics(pFontOptions, CAIRO_HINT_METRICS_ON), but these seem to be ignored under windows.

Should anyone want to take a closer look, the code is here: 

  http://www.libavg.de/browser/branches/libavg_pangocairo/src/player/TextEngine.cpp
  http://www.libavg.de/browser/branches/libavg_pangocairo/src/player/WordsNode.cpp

What could I be doing wrong?

Also, my calls to FcConfigAppFontAddDir are being ignored under windows - what could be the problem there?

Cheers, 

  Uli
