You probably ought to be looking at http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/pango/index.html Even when developing for an older version, it's often helpful to look at newer versions of the docs because people sometimes fill in and improve the documentation of older functions.

Actually some of the backend independent functionality I was thinking of is in gdk -- see http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gdk/gdk-Pango-Interaction.html and http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gdk/gdk-Drawing-Primitives.html#gdk-draw-glyphs

I don't know exactly how this would all fit together, but I think those are the places to start if you want to replace pango's layout of glyphs with scintilla's. This would bypass pango's support for right-to-left and bi-directional text, however, but I'm not sure if scintilla currently supports these.
