[cairo] Pango / Cairo problems on Win32

[Gerdus van Zyl]

all gtk programs work 100%. I also reinstalled using the newest gtk
installer 2.10.13 from gimp-win. The only font it always finds and
displays correctly is Arial but not even Arial if you specify a bold
weight.

Please note that the missing fonts are only showing up in some of my
programs, even thought the code used to render the text is the same
(previous post).

I have no idea how the font handling works but could it be running out
of font handles or something similar? I have however run tests using
200 widgets (not gtk) that results in 200 calls to the showText
function without the problem showing up.

I have however found a workaround that could illuminate why this is
happening. If i put some of my widget creation code in a different
thread, the pango/cairo problems disappears.
