Comment (by datallah):

 Fontconfig (which generates/uses `fonts.conf`) isn't used by the Win32
 Pango backend (it is, however, used by the Freetype backend even on
 Windows (which is why sometimes fonts will work in guifications popups,
 but not in pidgin itelf)).

 I believe the way around this is to edit the `...\etc\pango\pango.aliases`
 file and to include the necessary fonts in the alias lists there.

 Instead of editing the global pango.aliases file which will be replaced
 when the GTK+ Runtime is upgraded, you should copy it to your local home
 directory and edit it there:
  * `C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\.pango.aliases`
 '''NOTE the leading '.' as it is necessary'''; Windows Explorer will not
 let you create a file with that name - you'll need to rename it from a cmd
 prompt or through a text editor.
