Re: How to make a strikethrough font?



Lets go back to square one, what are you using this font for?

You talked about typing in the font so I assumed that a text view was
probably what you wanted.  Pango is a very low level text rendering
library.  Most GTK text entities have their own style controls that
use Pango so you don't need to.
