gnome-terminal and pango

[Girish Kulkarni <girish@athene.org.in>]

Does gnome-terminal use Pango?  Is there any way one could make it do so? 
I could only find a nine years old thread on this topic on gtk-i18n-list:

http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-i18n-list/2000-October/msg00020.html

And that doesn't look encouraging.  I am looking for a terminal that 
renders Indic scripts well.  TIA.
