About Pango
===========
Pango is a library for layout and rendering of text, with an
emphasis
on internationalization. Pango can be used anywhere that
text layout
is needed, though most of the work on Pango so far has been
done in
the context of the GTK+ widget toolkit. Pango forms the core
of text
and font handling for GTK+-2.x.
Pango is designed to be modular; the core Pango layout
engine can
be used with different font backends. There are three basic
backends,
with multiple options for rendering with each.
- Client side fonts using the FreeType and fontconfig
libraries.
Rendering can be with with Cairo or Xft libraries, or
directly
to an in-memory buffer with no additional libraries.
- Native fonts on Microsoft Windows. (Optionally using
Uniscribe
for complex-text handling). Rendering can be done via
Cairo
or directly using the native Win32 API.
- Native fonts on MacOS X, rendering via Cairo.
The integration of Pango with Cairo (http://cairographics.org
)
provides a complete solution with high quality text handling
and graphics rendering.
Dynamically loaded modules then handle text layout for
particular
combinations of script and font backend. Pango ships with a
wide
selection of modules, including modules for Hebrew, Arabic,
Hangul, Thai, and a number of Indic scripts. Virtually all
of the
world's major scripts are supported.
As well as the low level layout rendering routines, Pango
includes
PangoLayout, a high level driver for laying out entire
blocks of text,
and routines to assist in editing internationalized text.
More information about Pango is available from http://www.pango.org/.
Bugs should be reported to http://bugzilla.gnome.org.
Pango 1.14 depends on version 2.10.0 or newer of the GLib
library and version 1.2.2 or newer of the cairo library (if
the
cairo backend is desired); more information about GLib and
cairo
can be found at http://www.gtk.org/ and http://cairographics.org/
respectively.
