Hello! > I am not sure what you are trying to do but you can get the platform's > default context object for a given layout with pango_layout_get_context. Well, it's just the other way around; I thought I have to create a context in order to create a layout in order to put some text on the drawable. I did all this with gdk_draw_string before and now I just want to "modernize" my program to GTK+2.* policy. O;) Thanks, Andrej _______________________________________________ gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
