pango_layout_iter_next_char: Now is the time?

Well, I attend a few upstream fora, but I do not intend to attend all
fora for packages I have an issue with.

I thought I'd give it a try anyway.

Fixed? I just recreated that crash. Or am I interpreting the following
incorrectly?:

#3  <signal handler called>
#4  0x00aa8548 in pango_layout_iter_get_char_extents ()
   from /usr/lib/libpango-1.0.so.0

Are you sure we are speaking of the same issue? If it was fixed then
where, when and how was it fixed?

Are you telling me the "major amount of work" you mention in
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=89541 has already been done?

No. I've always seen the junk characters. I really believe you are
referring to a different issue. Please check the bug reports for details
to make sure we are speaking of the same issue.
