Is the path to Pango listed in the "C/C++ > General > Additional

In general mixing binaries from different visual studio versions is a
bad idea. It may work, but you are risking ABI changes for the
standard library classes, memory management and code generation
differences.

If the libraries expose either a C or COM API, they should be usable
between compiler versions, but it is not guaranteed.
