Re: Pango issue? Symbol font characters above A0 incorrect for multiple applications

[mathog <mathog caltech edu>]

Added a version of the list_fonts function from here

  http://www.lemoda.net/pango/list-fonts/index.html

and while it listed 125 families of fonts, it did not list any 
symbol/wingdings/webdings type fonts.
So when the test program specified those it used some fallback font 
instead.  Inkscape lists those fonts.
Presumably I need to use some other set of headers or font backend?  
The test program currently has these
headers:

#include <cairo.h>
#include <pango/pangocairo.h>
#include <strings.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>

Tried adding this (found in Inkscape in what looked like the right 
place):

#include <pango/pangowin32.h>

or this

#include <pango/pangoft2.h>
#include <freetype/freetype.h>

or both, but none of these brought in the Symbol font.

Pango version is 1.28.3 (same as Inkscape is using, and it sees Symbol 
font).

Why does Inkscape pull in Symbol and the test program not?

Thank you,
