one way to see what is happening is to actually debug if pango can use
a font, which fonts it has enumerated etc.
you compile subsurface with a debug console (without -mwindows) in the
background and run it to see what does it output ?
pango, cairo, gtk do usually output major errors and asserts.

dll wise, if you can isolate the issue in either one of these:

libpangoft2-1.0-0.dll
libpangowin32-1.0-0.dll

then perhaps it's some sort of a backend problem, caused by a wrong
compile flag, which would be distro. specific.
but then again it could also be a locale issue, of sorts...

btw, i don't compile any of these libraries, but download them from
the bundles here:
