They didn't really port the backend to CoreText. It is still using
the ATSUI API and they changed two function calls. I have an easy
patch that puts the old calls (which were removed) back and then it
builds and works fine on Tiger. I will try to clean this patch up
and push it soon (and also test it on Leopard, which I was not able
to do before).
The real challenge will be to write a proper, real, CoreText backend
for Pango. I might tackle that in the future.
True, "switch" would have been a better term...
ISTM that a configure option and a macro that selects either the ATSUI
or CoreText function is the way to go, so that Pango will build both
for Tiger and x86_64. Cairo needs the same treatment; right now they
just skip the ATSUI functions when building in 64-bit.
