My investigation showed that pango was installed on my system
and libXft wasn't. Howewer installing libXft doesn't resolve
the problem. Only reinstalling pango *after* installing libXft
does it. Gtk20 needs pango-with-xft.

I wrote PR/79019. But I really don't know any good solution.
Should the port (gtk20) check for pango-with-libxft libs and
print warning to reinstall pango? How to reinstall pango in
"auto" mode if needed?
