Sounds like a good idea. And shouldn't someone file an upstream bug
report that pango is misbehaving? In no case it should require the
number of file descriptors that it does (it seems to depend on the
number of fonts installed). Apparently Firefox itself got fixed to
behave more sensibly when it can't open all fds that it likes (or it
just uses fewer in the first place), now it seems pango's turn to be
fixed.
