Hi,
I'm wondering what functions I should use in GTK 2.2.2 to calculate the
size of some text. I need this information for instance for calculating
the position of some text that I want to draw inside a GtkDrawingArea.
The mailing list archive and tutorial / API documentation doesn't seem to
have an answer to this question (or at least I didn't find it).
All I found is that everything relating to GdkFont is now deprecated, but
there are no hints what could be used instead.
As far as I understand the font of a widget will be specified now by a
PangoFontDescription like this:
PangoFontDescription *font_desc = pango_font_description_from_string(
szFontName);
gtk_widget_modify_font(pGTKLabel, font_desc);
So how do I get the ascent, descent and width of some "gchar*"-text
before it is actually displayed using a given PangoFontDescription?
Regards...Peter
