Cairo is broken with pango-1.32.6

Andrey V. Panov emailed the lsit:

After upgrading pango to version 1.32.6, fontforge does not open a
window when UseCairoDrawing is set. On start, it writes on a console:

(process:1475): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: gtype.c:2720: You forgot to
call g_type_init()

(process:1475): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_once_init_leave: assertion `result !
= 0' failed

(process:1475): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: gtype.c:2720: You forgot to
call g_type_init()

(process:1475): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_once_init_leave: assertion `result !

call g_type_init()

(process:1475): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: gtype.c:2720: You forgot to
call g_type_init()

and hangs.
When UseCairoDrawing is zero, ff runs as usual.

Andrey says this still happens with pango 1.33.7 and cairo-1.12 on Slackware 14.0 on both x86 and x86_64

Hi, I use gnuplot and have found the same bug with every terminal that uses cairo. The bug happens with every version of pango from 1.32.6 to 1.33.8. I use a Mac and homebrew to get the software installed.
Now, my question to you is: how can I get this fixed? Who should I file a bug report to? The error message comes from glib, the corrupted terminals use cairo, the program I use is gnuplot, and I don't have any idea where to start to get this fixed.

Thank you very much! :)

@matteoipri are you using fontforge? if not, I suggest you file the bug with gnuplot and point them to the fix made in fontforge (#350) so they can update gnuplot in a similar way.
