This is a pretty big deal for me as I use inkscape at work all the time and there are so many delicious fonts in opentype...
I tried using the precompiled pango 1.20 binaries (they're not listed on the GTK download page but they're there, just need to get creative with the URL). I simply moved the existing pango 1.18.4 dll's aside and put the 1.20 ones in their place.
Unfortunately it bombs out, so assuming that something needs to change inside inkscape. Error message: "The procedure entry point g_assertion_message could not be located in the dll libglib-2.0-0.dll" I guess something in the interface between pango and glib has changed...
Please please please don't wait another major release to include this fix! :)
+1 !
