Re: Loading font directly from font file

[Pradeep Botu <pradeep botu82 gmail com>]

  Thanks.. I will do it by overriding font logic of PangoFT2Fontmap.

 

  I have another requirement. I want to synthesize bold characters using pango.

  Using AttrList i am unable to get the bold characters.

  How can I do the bold characters rendering

An easier alternative would be to subclass the PangoFT2Fontmap and override
its font loading logic.
