Re: gEDA-user: font problem in 1.6.0

[Matthew Wilkins <matthew_m_wilkins@xxxxxxxx>]

   You should take a look at this thread; it sounds as though the problem
   of requiring CoreText should be fixed in Pango 1.27 (which has now been
   released).  Have you tried that version? if it doesn't work, then maybe
   you could try applying the patch to version 1.26.

     I would love to do that, but I don't think I'm up to the task
   time-wise right now.
     In the meantime, it took a little over two minutes to build it on a
   Linux machine, and it works nicely when displayed back to either the G5
   or the Sun Ray (backed with Solaris/UltraSPARC) on my desk.  I'll use
   that to get some work done and will keep trying to get it running under
   OS X during breaks.
     In the meantime I've narrowed down the Pango problem to a major
   release.  Under OS X 10.4, v1.24 works while v1.25 fails due to the
   CoreText requirement.
     Pango is configured to use Cairo, FreeType, and X backends, according
   to its configure output.
     Do you have any suggestions as to where I might start digging?
