Chris, ahh. Yea, the new version is .84, and you can confirm you have it 
by seeing 0.84 in the beginning:

pango-view --font="Ubuntu 48" --markup --text='<span fallback="false"> 
The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.</span>'

The other font you don't have. I removed it from the directions. It's 
from when we did the PPA testing. Thanks for catching this!
