Unfortunately with Silverlight 2.0, Moonlight now has more requirements in this
area :-(


Firstly (and most importantly), Silverlight 2 allows you to specify a list of
font families that the text renderer needs to use to find a font that will
render each glyph.

For example, a developer might specify in XAML: FontFamily="Georgia, Arial"

In this scenario, the text renderer should use Georgia to render any glyphs
that are available in that font, but fallback to using Arial for anything
Georgia lacks (like ♥♦♪♫ and such).

Currently PangoFontDescription does handle this if it is using the FontConfig
backend (from what I understand), so some logic is already there for this font
fallback, but we'll need it to work for a cairo_font_face_t backend as well.
