You are correct. Pango can't deal with bitmap (.fon) fonts.

Back in November, 2003 I submitted a GTK-Wimp bug report to 
http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/gtk-wimp about this issue:

[ 840287 ] Win98 warnings: Couldn't load font "MS Sans Serif 8"

Since this is technically a Pango issue and not a GTK+ or
GTK-Wimp issue, the GTK-Wimp bug was closed.  However, I've
unable to find a Pango bug report about it.
