1 Pango is a library for layout and rendering of text, with an emphasis on
2 internationalization. Pango can be used anywhere that text layout is needed.
3 However, most of the work on Pango-1.0 was done using the GTK+ widget toolkit as
4 a test platform. Pango forms the core of text and font handling for GTK+-2.0.
6 Pango is designed to be modular; the core Pango layout can be used with four
7 different font backends:
8 * Core X windowing system fonts
9 * Client-side fonts on X using the Xft library
10 * Direct rendering of scalable fonts using the FreeType library
11 * Native fonts on Microsoft backends
