There are certainly various bug fixes in Pango CVS that I haven't
sent back upstream. Also, the Qt people have taken the code
as it exists in Pango, made a bunch of fixes and some other
changes, and used it in Qt-3.2.

So, the situation is basically, that we have:
 
 * Fixes in Pango and Qt that aren't in FreeType1
 * Fixes in Qt that aren't in Pango or FreeType1
 * A few fixes in Pango that aren't in Qt or FreeType1
 * Fixes in FreeType1 that aren't in Pango or Qt

(Some of these fixes may be the same, of course, or be
different fixes for the same problem)

It would be extremely valuable for someone to go through
and sync this all up; unfortunately:

 - Because of all the branches
 - Because significant changes were made in the FreeType2 
   port used in Pango, and some more in the incorporation 
   into Qt

It's a reasonably non-trivial task; I'd guess several days
of work. Not something I have time for right now certainly.
