Hey Nate,
Do you run this on a server or on your local desktop machine? Pango is used
in conjunction with FontConfig to select an appropriate (TrueType) font for
each (group of) letters. Apparently something goes wrong in your
environment, and perhaps it has to do with a lack of true type fonts, or a
missing or defect fontconfig installation, or the lack of a proper font
cache which may only be built when you run a local X server ?
What's the operating system you are using ?
So what you're potentially missing is Unicode support since the built-in
PDF fonts are single byte fonts (up to 256 characters), and access to more
fonts.
Regards,
koen
