Greetings Gnomers,
This is a question for any Pango gurus out there
:-) I using libRSVG to to translations from SVG -> Raster, and this is
one awesome package. I understand that is uses Pango for rendering fonts,
so this got me interested in Pango which looks like another awesome Gnome
project ..
Basically I want to know if I can query Pango to
find out if it supports a font, and some general properties about this
font. Particularly useful to me would be to know what the character size
(i.e. width and height) for a font is, so I could compare font sizes. So
for example, to be clear, Arial characters compared with Arial Black, we
can see that Arial Black a greater width ....
I was looking through: http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/pango/pango-Fonts.html
and it kinda looks like you can (maybe with
pango_font_metrics_get_approximate_char_width () ) but I was wondering if anyone
could either give me a dummies approach or point me to an example of how to call
this and let me know this is possible ...
Thanks grealy to all,
Z.
