> - Unless you use Pango the way it is supposed to be used,
The problem is that the way it's "supposed" to be used isn't very compatible with rendering web content. Consider, for example, trying to render the following simple HTML + CSS with pango:
<div> This is
<span style="
that has simple styling.
</div>
(this is not particularly contrived markup; in the "real" world you get stuff like this all the time, esp. with font changes).
Pango seems to assume that what you're rendering are large paragraphs of text, all with the same styling. For a typical website, that's not what's being rendered....
