A PangoFontDescription is just that: a description.  It doesn't identify
any specific font on your system just yet.  You need a PangoFont first.

Unfortunately the current Pango API is lacking any way to connect a
PangoFont to a PangoFontFamily.  So, right now, you can't do that.  I've
opened a but about it:
