al@17992 | 1 Pango is a library for layout and rendering of text, with an emphasis on |
al@17992 | 2 internationalization. Pango can be used anywhere that text layout is needed. |
al@17992 | 3 However, most of the work on Pango-1.0 was done using the GTK+ widget toolkit as |
al@17992 | 4 a test platform. Pango forms the core of text and font handling for GTK+-2.0. |
al@17992 | 5 |
al@17992 | 6 Pango is designed to be modular; the core Pango layout can be used with four |
al@17992 | 7 different font backends: |
al@17992 | 8 * Core X windowing system fonts |
al@17992 | 9 * Client-side fonts on X using the Xft library |
al@17992 | 10 * Direct rendering of scalable fonts using the FreeType library |
al@17992 | 11 * Native fonts on Microsoft backends |
