I did some tests on my linux box with pango 1.20.5 and cairo 1.6.4 (combination backed by libfreetype2), and rendering to postscript works fine for every combination of fonts I have tried. Of course results will depend on the library pango will use for font handling, and the availability of fonts on each platform. The added benefit of using the same library for rendering, image export and PS/PDF printing is less code and uniform look.
