libgdiplus does not consider font fallbacks for text rendering, often breaking multilingual display (bz#39418). According to the cairo folks, to handle fallbacks without using pango, you must do it yourself with fontconfig. Mixed scripts are really not that rare in current usage, and using pango does solve the fallback issue. Please consider making the pango support a bit more supported, even default.

FontConfig is used even in the builds without Pango. However, rendering text in non-Latin alphabets or with any more complex text layout is not. There's an ongoing debate about this issue at #269.

Pango support is official now, so this can be closed.
