 Pango is designed to be modular; the core Pango layout can be used

+with different font backends. There are two basic backends, with
+multiple options for rendering with each.
 
- - Client-side fonts on X using the Xft library
- - Direct rendering of scalable fonts using the FreeType library
- - Native fonts on Microsoft backends
+ - Client side fonts using the FreeType and fontconfig libraries.
+   Rendering can be with with Cairo or Xft libraries, or directly
+   to an in-memory buffer with no additional libraries.
 
-(There is also a core-X font backend still present in the code;
-usage of this backend is deprecated.)
+ - Native fonts on Microsoft Windows. (Optionally using Uniscribe
+   for complex-text handling). Rendering can be done via Cairo 
+   or directly using the native Win32 API.

+The integration of Pango with Cairo (http://cairographics.org)
+provides a complete solution with high quality text handling 
+and graphics rendering.
 
 Dynamically loaded modules then handle text layout for particular
 combinations of script and font backend.

-The supported font backend for X in Pango-1.8 is the Xft backend

 Note that an earlier version of Xft is shipped with version
 of XFree86 up to 4.2. This version does not work with Pango-1.8;
 Pango-1.8 requires version 2 of Xft, which is present in XFree86-4.3
 and newer and in X11R6.7 and X11R6.8.
 
-Both Xft and the optional PangoFT2 backend require the fontconfig
-library (http://www.fontconfig.org) to look up fonts. At least version 
-2.0.9 of the FreeType font handling library (http://www.freetype.org) 
-is also required. If fontconfig and FreeType are not found at
-configure time, or FreeType is too old, then neither the Xft nor the 
-FT2 backend is will be built.

 After installing fontconfig, it may be necessary to edit
 the fonts.conf file, found at $(sysconfdir)/fonts/fonts.conf
 (usually /etc/fonts/fonts.conf) to point at the fonts
 on your system.
 
 Installation of Pango on Win32 is possible, but is not documented
