yes, it will use Freetype2 but somewhat hidden behind a Pango layer.
Excellent!!
The advantage of using Pango on top of Freetype2 is that it takes care of all the ugly details of glyph positioning and shaping.
Yup, Pango is great stuff and definitely the way to go. That should make for some VERY NICE text support in future Gimps. Now you'll just have to support PSD Text Layers ;).
