If you want a build that makes use of Pango like the build above does 
and doesn't compromise MathML rendering, you can apply my patch in bug 
215219 and build with '--enable-xft' (no need for '--enable-pango') 
That's all documented in 'README' file of my contributed build. Please, 
read it. Note that my patch has some problems with GPOS handling, though.

If you don't care about MathML, you can apply blizzard's patch in bug 
214715 (with a recent version of Pango, MathML should work more or less 
although it may not be great) and build with 'enable-pango'. I guess it 
should be applied to 1.7 branch with few, if any, rejects.
