I propose that we revert Pango to 1.42.x from 1.44.3 because of

I forgot to add that in - Type1 fonts in GTK+2 are affected as well.
I will revert to pango-1.42.4 tomorrow unless there are objections. We are
a little less than two weeks away from package freeze for the next release
and it doesn't look like this will get resolved before then.

Just for the record, it also broke inkscape:
In file included from /usr/include/pango-1.0/pango/pangoft2.h:32,
from
/scratch/working/inkscape-0.92.4/src/libnrtype/FontInstance.cpp:25:

Does it work OK with version 1.42.4?
