[xmlroff] libfo and gnome-hello-2.0.1

[Tony G. <Ton...@Su...>]

(Sorry for not replying to the previous message, but my mail setup is
chaotic right now.)

When I tried xmlroff-0.2.4 (in CVS) with gnome-hello-2.0.1 using the
pkg-config change in configure.ac, gnome-hello crashed with a
segfault.

I have now checked in some changes to PangoPDF that stop gnome-hello
from crashing for me.

I have only tried the fix with a statically linked PangoPDF, but since
the crash occurred at the same place with both a statically and a
dynamically linked PangoPDF, I expect that the fix will also work with
a dynamically linked PangoPDF.

Incidentally, if you followed my previous advice about using
--with-included-modules with --enable-static and --disable-shared, you
should have crashed after lots of error messages about not finding
pango-basic-xft.so (or similar).  If you didn't get those error
messages, you weren't cleaning out the shared modules in
/usr/local/lib/pangopdf/pango/1.2.0/modules properly.  The fix would
have been to add basic-xft to the list of included modules.
