Maybe. You might have to use lower-level pango functions to ensure that it's used. Behdad will have to answer that for you.

No. You'll need to rebuild pango. You'll also need FontConfig and Harfbuzz.

No, it isn't. It's a separate dependency.

If you're using gtk-osx, you can build meta-gkt-osx-freetype and then force-rebuild pango. If you're using MacPorts, you'll have to go look up how to do the same thing.
