Which version?

Which toolchain and supporting libraries?  Cygwin?  MinGW? Other?

I used to get this problem using the dropline packages for MinGW, but
no amount of Pango tweaking fixed it.  I "solved" the problem by
building my own libraries from source for Cygwin.  Nowadays Cygwin
comes with GTK+, so you could try that, or try the latest version
available.

(Thankfully, I no longer need to build under Windows!)
