Pango-WARNING couldn't load font

Not sure there's much we can do.
There's no "pango-query-modules" in the latest versions.
Overriding g_log_set_handler would be a pain: ​I found out this is currently not possible and a known bug within either gobject-introspection or glib, since g_log_set_handler is not bindable

Now that I have some time and a clean head: The original reason I reported this bug (rather I made a comment which opened a bug) is this:

The text rendering is a bit tiring on the eyes. Compare:

vs

vs attaching from server itself

I am also attaching the settings (and overrides) I've done. I think I made the settings well enough, so, at least when attaching from itself, quality could skyrocket (and feel as-native)

I have also tested with and without opengl.

The "only" two constant warnings are: This (attaching from windows) and that

Please don't use this ticket, this has nothing to do with font rendering in applications server side.
The pango warning is client-side and means that something in GTK is loading pango and having this problem.
Pango is not used client side for rendering server side applications.

Yeah, I saw that coming ...

If you want to move all of that to a new ticket and clean it up from here, no objection by me
