Hi Rob,
       We'll need to test the speed of pango-based rendering vs xft. I've
nnoticed a significant lag when openning the drop down list and an
increase in start up time since your commit to use pango-based
combo-box. I have all the MS Word fonts installed on my PC so my
case really amplifies the problem.

That said there are really significant benefits to a pango-based graphics
class. Tomas has done quite a lot of work on it already and I'm sure he'd
*LOVE* some help.

Cheers

Martin
