DLLs only? OK, so those two packages don't really need anything except
the DLL at run-time, but still, if you really downloaded just the DLLs
(and not zipfiles containing other stuff, too), where did you get them
from?

What is this, and where did you get it? The official build of the
pango DLL is called libpango-1.0-0.dll (and has been called so for
several years), and it won't work to just install the DLL, you must
install the whole Pango runtime package (zipfile). (Well, if you
insist, sure, you can leave out some stuff, but then you must know
what you are doing, and you are on your own.)

So is it libpango-1.0-0.dll after all now? Or did you rename that odd
libpango.dll to libpango-1.0-0.dll? (Bad move.) Or maybe you
downloaded the wrong Pango version to go with your GTK version.

Don't cut corners. Read the instructions on the download page
closely. Download the complete zipfiles, and the versions that go
together, don't go to fly-by-night "all the DLLs you need" sites to
look for just DLLs.
