RE: high-level text drawing

["Tom Liu" <tom liu flextrade com>]

So many functions need to call to draw a string, it is very slow.
I tried with the directly Xdrawstring, the Pango is 600 times slower.
If there is no simpler way to do this, that will be too bad.

something like this should work (here with a GtkDrawingArea):

PangoLayout *layout;

layout = gtk_widget_create_pango_layout(drawing_area, NULL);

pango_layout_set_text(layout, "some textt in utf8", -1);

gdk_draw_layout(drawing_area->window, pen, posx, posy, layout);

If you don't have the GtkWidget your drawable belongs to at hand, you'll

probably need to use pango_layout_new() etc.  (not sure if there is a
simpler 
way, I've only used gtk_widget_create_pango_layout so far).

Cheers
