About Pango =========== Pango is a library for layout and rendering of text, with an emphasis on internationalization. Pango can be used anywhere that text layout is needed, though most of the work on Pango so far has been done in the context of the GTK+ widget toolkit. Pango forms the core of text and font handling for GTK+-2.x. Pango is designed to be modular; the core Pango layout engine can be used with different font backends. There are three basic backends, with multiple options for rendering with each. - Client side fonts using the FreeType and fontconfig libraries. Rendering can be with with Cairo or Xft libraries, or directly to an in-memory buffer with no additional libraries. - Native fonts on Microsoft Windows using Uniscribe for complex-text handling. Rendering can be done via Cairo or directly using the native Win32 API. - Native fonts on MacOS X, rendering via Cairo. The integration of Pango with Cairo (http://cairographics.org) provides a complete solution with high quality text handling and graphics rendering. Dynamically loaded modules then handle text layout for particular combinations of script and font backend. Pango ships with a wide selection of modules, including modules for Hebrew, Arabic, Hangul, Thai, and a number of Indic scripts. Virtually all of the world's major scripts are supported. As well as the low level layout rendering routines, Pango includes PangoLayout, a high level driver for laying out entire blocks of text, and routines to assist in editing internationalized text. More information about Pango is available from http://www.pango.org/. Bugs should be reported to http://bugzilla.gnome.org. Pango 1.21 depends on version 2.14.0 or newer of the GLib library and version 1.6.4 or newer of the cairo library (if the cairo backend is desired); more information about GLib and cairo can be found at http://www.gtk.org/ and http://cairographics.org/ respectively. Overview of changes between 1.20.2 and 1.21.0 ============================================== - Require cairo >= 1.6.4. - Write out HarfBuzz errors as hex. - Add a section in the docs for bidirectional text. - Improved hex-box rendering in the cairo backend. - Add some aliases for <span> tag attributes. - Preserve current-point around pango_cairo_* functions. - New public API: pango_attr_type_get_name() enum PangoBidiType; pango_bidi_type_get_type() pango_bidi_type_for_unichar() pango_layout_get_baseline() pango_cairo_create_context() pango_cairo_font_map_set_default() - Bugs fixed in this release: Bug 515432 – Add function to get bidirectional character type of a unicode character Patch from Jürg Billeter Bug 517119 – Add pango_cairo_create_context() Bug 404416 – pango_layout_get_baseline or something Bug 474706 – cairo hexbox looks ugly Bug 490669 – add some <span> attribute aliases Bug 501334 – Make pango_cairo_[show_]*[_path]() functions preserve current point Bug 514617 – Add pango_cairo_font_map_set_default() Bug 511183 – Add pango_attr_type_get_name() 22 April 2008 Behdad Esfahbod -- behdad http://behdad.org/
