[cairo] pangocairo misbehaves on Mac OS X 10.5 (using Quartz/ATSUI, no Xlibs)

Hi,

I have this really simple test program which is using pangocairo to 
render some text in an image surface.  And it crashes constantly on Mac 
OS X 10.5.8.

The code is really dumb: it enumerates all available fonts and tries to 
draw the same sample text with every given font.

When the test string contains only Latin characters, it works, but only 
few fonts give expected results: the rest have symbols mis-mapped in 
some way.

When I try to render some non-Latin symbols (a test string featuring 
Latin, Russian, Greek and Japanese: "PanGo ПанГо Παν語"; see attached 
`text.txt') I get output for some 10 of the first fonts and then it 
crashes (see full output in attached `error.log').

With the fonts for which I've obtained an output file there's different 
levels of "correctness": with some it doesn't render nothing but Latin 
chars from the test string, some others get Latin and Russian (but the 
latter is messed up), some have Latin and Russian (the latter replaced 
with some Greek symbols), etc.  Anyway, with none of the fonts it 
produced the output I've expected.

Here's some details about my setup:

I'm using gcc shipped with the mac: i686-apple-darwin9-gcc-4.0.1 (GCC) 
4.0.1 (Apple Inc. build 5490)

Compiled these libraries from recent stable releases:

glib-2.18.2
pixman-0.17.2
cairo-1.8.8   (./configure --without-x)
pango-1.26.1  (./configure --without-x)

Am I doing something wrong?  Have I missed something?  What can I try to 
track this down?

PS: I'll probably try compiling --with-x just in case, but what I really 
need is to get rid of X11 dependencies on Mac.

PPS: Posting here, because I couldn't subscribe to gtk-i18n-list due to
