Pango 1.32 adds a new dependency called harfbuzz. 
See this for details:
http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/HarfBuzz

This library essentially replaces all the per-language modules that
pango used to have. So, pango still supports non-latin characters, it
just internally works in a different way.
