Hi,

first of, please don't cross-post on multiple mailing-list. It is
almost impossible for anyone to respond to your questions since that
would require to be subscribed to all these lists. Cross-posting is a
clear violation of the netiquette. You aren't doing yourself a favor
by doing that.

Pango and fontconfig do this for you in a non-trivial fashion. What
exactly do you want to know?

You are doing something wrong then. Please show us some example code.
