Have you ever tried to get bilingual or any arabic/indic/... text rendered correctly using FT2 alone? GTK+-2.0 applications by default use whatever Pango context is allocated by the GDK backend. For GTK+-X11 this is PangoX, GTK+-Win32 uses Pango-Win32 and GTK+-LinuxFB as well as GTK+-DirectFB use PangoFT2. I don't think there's a way to change this behaviour and I even believe there's no way to make this doable (think about remote X11 displays for example). If you want your application to use FT2 fonts, you can allocate a PangoFT2 context and use that. That is what GIMP-1.3 does for the its new text tool (which is only rudimentary implemented at the moment).
