Actually I'm told pangocairo is the preferred thing instead of pangoxft. 
  repoquery agrees:

$ repoquery --whatrequires 'libpangocairo-1.0.so.0()(64bit)' | wc -l
1435
$ repoquery --whatrequires 'libpangoxft-1.0.so.0()(64bit)' | wc -l
11

But again, quite similar APIs.

Many of the broken packages appear to acquire their pangox dependency 
through their use of gtkglext, which has gone an irritatingly long time 
without an upstream release.  gtkglext's pangox use was removed with 
this commit:

http://git.gnome.org/browse/gtkglext/commit/gdk/x11/Makefile.am?id=df7a7b35b80b395d7ba411c7f727970a46fb0588

But we can't just backport that, because removing those functions is an 
ABI break, and those functions are indeed used in some of the affected 
packages.  Still, looking into it.
