I don't know what you sent to these folks, but *my* response to
a mail from Hari Nair (the Xplanet developer) was not along these
lines at all.
Since he specifically said that he didn't want to use GTK+ *for
portability reasons*, I responded to that, but I also said:
But then again, Pango wasn't meant to be GTK+
specific, so I wouldn't mind having an example
of someone using it in a non-GTK+-based GUI app :-)
No, there are no tutorials for using Pango without GTK+ (or using
Pango with GTK+), but if someone wanted to write such a thing
for inclusion in the Pango docs, I'd be happy to include it.
