Pango is a library for laying out and rendering of text, with an emphasis on internationalization. (quoted from http://www.pango.org/) If you only read web pages in languages which are based on the Latin alphabet then you don't need to use pango. Turning off pango is sometimes even recommended as a means to speed up the HTML rendering of fireweasel. -- Regards, | http://users.icfo.es/Florian.Kulzer Florian | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
