Hmmm, can pango be linked without glib 1.3.x at all!? Anyway it is discussing whether fribidi must be linked with glib 1.3.x; currently it must be the case (otherwise pango refuses to use external fribidi library). But for newer pango, it is another story; pango 0.20 (dunno for older versions) includes a mini-fribidi library, so that external fribidi is just optional. Actually including external fribidi won't work without patching; filed a bug report+patch in bugzilla, but nobody has taken care of it yet. Abel
