 Redhat was targetting 8.0 as desktop so it wanted to give all
antialiasing , high quality rendering stuff ( using Xft2, Xrender &
fontconfig , and indic opentype support ) which was only avialable in
Pango 1.1.x, since Pango 1.0 was frozen long time before their
release. Any wonder that now RH is releasing a beta with Gnome 2.2
(sched rel Jan '03 end ), Mozilla 1.2.1 etc. Since 8.0 is intended for
desktop users only, they are experimenting all latest stuff !
