Ah - I had missed that...
I think that mostly addresses my concerns then, as we will fall back
to the "legacy" behaviour if pango is not enabled...
On Linux, I pretty much always have pango enabled in 1.4 builds
anyway, so I had not really grasped that was what would happen.

So, a user that builds *without* pango enabled will get the "legacy"
postscript support, and no new dependency is introduced.

A user who builds *with* pango enabled will get the improved
postscript support, and potentially added dependency on libs that can
be assumed to be present if pango is present.

Is that a reasonable statement?

If so then I am in favour of this enhancement.
