Freetype2 is not involved; gdk/win32 uses the pangowin32 backend
only. Do you have a pango aliases file? You probably need to install
it, in <top>/etc/pango/pango.aliases. The following contents should
work OK. Take out unnecessary fonts if you don't need non-Latin output
and you will speed pango up a bit.
