Pango-viewer does not work on my system too.
However, you do need the xft backend
The recommended font backend for X in Pango-1.2 is the Xft backend
which uses version 2 of the Xft library to manage client
side fonts. Benefits of the Xft backend include, performance,
support for OpenType fonts, and antialiasing. Version 2 of
Xft is available from http://keithp.com/fonts/. The 'fcpackage'
tarball includes both Xft, and it's dependency, 'fontconfig'.

There are two ways to write error-free programs; only the third one
