Hello all,

I found that the functions pango_font_description_set_family
and pango_font_description_set_size are leaking memory. I am
using pango version 1.4.0.

fontdesc =  pango_font_description_new();
pango_font_description_set_family(fontdesc,"courier");
pango_font_description_set_size(fontdesc,size*PANGO_SCALE);
pango_font_description_free (fontdesc);

When i ran the program (pasted below) and saw the memory usage
profile from top command, i see that a the program allocates a
lot of memory continuously. When i commented out the statements
that i suspect are leaky, i dont see any contiuous memory
allocation. Is this behaviour typical of pango or am i missing
something. Please clarify my doubt.

Without checking the code, your Pango version is years old, so
I'll not be surprised if it had leaks.


Thanks in advance,
nerdy
