Find shaper/font for Private Use and space characters too. Finding shaper

2006-08-22  Behdad Esfahbod  <behdad@gnome.org>

        * pango/pango-context.c (itemize_state_process_run): Find shaper/font
        for Private Use and space characters too.  Finding shaper for Private
        Use is needed for any practical use of those areas.  Ideally, spaces
        should be synthesized if they are not available in the font, but
        falling back to other fonts is far easier, and should give pretty good
        results with the current set of common fonts.  These fixes allow
        Firefox+Pango to render MathML like Firefox+Xft does.
