Pango Win32 developing request

["Christopher Hubmann" <chubmann aaitg com>]

Hi All,

I am currently trying to accomplish the following task:

I want to simply render a string containing unicode chars to a
DeviceContext using the pangowin32 engine,
but i can't find a single line of sample code searching the internet.

My main problems are:

1) How do i properly initialize the Win32 Engine for Pango?
2) How do i create a PangoGlyphString out of a given Unicode String in
combination with a created PangoFont?
3) How do i render the PangoGlyphString to a HDC?


Here are the fragments what i've got so far by reading the doxygen
documentation:

      // Initialize pango
      PangoEngine*         *pango_engine         =
script_engine_create(PANGO_RENDER_TYPE_WIN32);
      HDC                   hdc_screen           = pango_win32_get_dc();
      PangoContext          *pango               =
pango_win32_get_context();
      PangoFontMap          *pango_font_map      =
pango_win32_font_map_for_display();
      PangoWin32FontCache   *pango_font_cache    =
pango_win32_font_map_get_font_cache(pango_font_map);

      // DEBUG VALUES

      char family[] = {"Microsoft Sans"};
      unsigned long weight = 10;
      unsigned long stretch = 1;
      unsigned long style = 1;
      unsigned long variant = 1;

      // Create pango font
      PangoFontDescription  *pango_font_desc     =
pango_font_description_new();
      pango_font_description_set_family(pango_font_desc, family);
      pango_font_description_set_weight(pango_font_desc,
(PangoWeight)weight);
      pango_font_description_set_stretch(pango_font_desc,
(PangoStretch)stretch);
      pango_font_description_set_style(pango_font_desc, (PangoStyle)style);
      pango_font_description_set_variant(pango_font_desc,
(PangoVariant)variant);
      PangoFont* pango_font = pango_font_map_load_font(pango_font_map,
pango, pango_font_desc);
      pango_font_description_free(pango_font_desc);


Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Kind Regards,
                  Chris H.
