in fact, pango_context_new and pango_context_set_font_map are guarded  
in their headers by #ifdef PANGO_ENABLE_BACKEND --- they're meant to be  
used only by Pango backend implementations, and hence are not bound.   
the "new" you were picking up for Gtk2::Pango::Context actually comes  
from Glib::Object.

GtkWidget provides front-end functions that create contexts and layouts.

http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gtk/GtkWidget.html#gtk-widget- 
create-pango-layout
http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gtk/GtkWidget.html#gtk-widget- 
get-pango-context
http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gtk/GtkWidget.html#gtk-widget- 
create-pango-context

e.g.

        $layout = $widget->create_pango_layout ($text);

does that fix it?
