Sven,

Thanks for your reply. This actually seems to have helped one of my 
machines. However the other still reports the same (similar actually) 
errors:

Note this is after recompiling and reinstalling pango-1.0.5 against 
freetype 2.1.3. Am I missing something obvious? Maybe a pc file 
configuration issue?
