 pkgsrc or native X?
 
 I noticed a while ago that font rendering in pysolfc (which, however,
 uses tk and doesn't go near pango) went to crap after an update to one
 of the core X font libraries. If there's a problem at that level it
 could bite pango too. But I haven't got around to tracking it down. :-/
