pangox is deprecated and will be removed this cycle.  Do not depend on it.
Comment 1 Mukund Sivaraman 2009-10-22 22:44:15 UTC 
Pango X is used to load bitmap fonts. The existing font implementation creates a bitmap display list using glXUseXFont() (one per glyph), and the program calling GtkGLExt then calls the display list to draw the glyphs.

This approach won't work anyway with variable sized fonts layouts, which is what would be desired from a current font implementation in GtkGLExt. An application can manually render layouts calling Pango directly and doesn't require this functionality from GtkGLExt, so I guess all that needs to be done is to deprecate the existing font API and remove it.
