Hello Pango experts, I am new to the Pango world. Our application requires fixed-width font for mixed string of Chinese and Latin glyphs. For example, a string containing Chinese
and Latin characters requires each glyph to be 16x24 sometimes but it requires it to be 24x24 in other times. I browsed through pango API and the only available API to set font width is to
pango_font_description_set_stretch However, the API’s input parameter is an enumeration of : PANGO_STRETCH_ULTRA_CONDENSED, PANGO_STRETCH_EXTRA_CONDENSED, PANGO_STRETCH_CONDENSED, PANGO_STRETCH_SEMI_CONDENSED, PANGO_STRETCH_NORMAL, PANGO_STRETCH_SEMI_EXPANDED, PANGO_STRETCH_EXPANDED, PANGO_STRETCH_EXTRA_EXPANDED, PANGO_STRETCH_ULTRA_EXPANDED and after testing of these enumerators, none of these option give me a fixed width for both Chinese and latin glyphs.
The other API I tried is to use low level API: glyphString->glyphs[k].geometry.width Original Chinese’Chinese glyph’s width is wider than font’s width. This API does not seem to change chinese glyph’s width. Rather, it make consecutive
Chinese glyphs to overlap each other, causing ineligibility. What’s the correct way to set a glyph to a certain fixed width for both Chinese and latin characters?
