Then as root:
apt-file update

Once that is done, you can do apt-file search libpangoxft and see what
package, if any, in Debian contains it. Then install that package. Or
create a dummy package that depends on it and install that, so the library
will get removed again if you don't need it later and not clutter your
system up.

If the package you need turns out to be the one you already tried, we will
need to know the exact errors you are getting to help further.
