Bug your font developers.Aha, so this means I can get around it by selecting a font that behaves better. Do you happen to know which monospaced font (mainly latin) is 'good'?Not sure. I know DejaVu Sans Monospace has this bug. Maybe report it to them? Try Liberation fonts maybe?P.S. Behdad, may I ask if there a graphic overview somewhere showing the relations between the the different parts of pango?Not that I know of. What parts do you have in mind exactly? The canonical diagram is of course the source code :P.Haha! That's why I ask. Having some diagrams showing how one thing is connected to another makes ploughing through the sources a lot more effective. I'm mainly interested in the things I as a user need to use in my software: for instance the layout stuff. You could have a diagram showing a PangoLayout that has N PangoLayoutLine which in turn has N PangoGlyphItem and so on. One can easily create such diagrams using lmu or umlgraph (haven't tried the latter one). I can try to create a short example if you like.I'd rather have pangocairo source code to generate those.
I think that's a bridge too far, except of course if you want to program a pango overview diagram rather than drawing/formulating it. Anyway what I was looking for is something like the attached dot file. To generate a ps file from this pass it through the graphviz dot tool like this: dot -Tps pango.dot -o pango.ps Of course this diagram is incomplete and possibly incorrect as I'm not the right person to compose it. BTW dot can generate many other output formats (for some it uses cairo so maybe you can make it generate cairo source code). Isn't gtk-doc capable of generating such diagrams? Doxygen is.
Feel free to do that, and submit it with a patch to integrate it into the reference docs (with some surrounding text)!
I'm sorry. If I was capable of creating any valuable documentation regarding pango then I wouldn't be asking my silly questions on this list :-) Regards, Theo
