I'm glad that you saw that since the new files don't even show up in
the libgnomeprint ChangeLog.
It is useful as long as xmlroff doesn't need or use any additional
Pango attributes. For example, the PDFlib backend uses a 'callback'
attribute type for handling fo:external-graphic. (There used to be
more non-standard Pango attributes in use before Pango moved to using
fontconfig and blew away the code on which the extra attributes were
based.)
Lines 134-138 in gnome-print-pango.c don't appear to do anything.
It would be nice to be able to get away from building GnomeGlyphLists
for the GNOME Print backend.
This would be most useful if it is coupled with an upgrade to basing
PangoPDF on Pango 1.3.* where the Pango modules are common across
Pango backends.
Anybody for a bit of PangoPDF hacking?

Tony Graham
