Yes, that's what I was hoping.  But it also converts the 
font into a Scheme form, right?  It looks like at that stage 
it assumes the font is an Open_type_font and the Pango_font 
doesn't have some property so it comes out as #F.

I had to hack the C++ because there's a check to make sure 
the font has a glyph with the right name and that only works 
for an Open_type_font.  So now that check succeeds I see 
this other problem further down the line.
