That isn't going to work. Fonts in 
-*-courier-medium-r-normal-*-*-120-75-* format are provided by the X 
server, and text is drawn by the server. Pango fonts are provided by the 
client, and text is drawn by the client. They are two completely 
different methods for outputting text, and may make completely different 
sets of fonts available. The x_draw_string function calls the 
appropriate text output function for the specified font. You cannot 
unconditionally replace it with XDrawText unless it only has to work 
with fonts available on the X server.
