Testing is most appreciated. Changes since Pango 1.3.5 are a couple of minor bug fixes and build fixes for Win32. Notes: * This is unstable development release. While it has had fairly extensive testing, there are likely bugs remaining to be found. This release should not be used in production. * Installing this version will overwrite your existing copy of Pango-1.2. If you have problems, you'll need to reinstall Pango-1.2.5. * Bugs should be reported to http://bugzilla.gnome.org. About Pango =========== Pango is a library for layout and rendering of text, with an emphasis on internationalization. Pango can be used anywhere that text layout is needed, though most usage so far as been in the context of the GTK+ widget toolkit. Pango forms the core of text and font handling for GTK+ 2. Pango is designed to be modular; the core Pango layout can be used with four different font backends: - Core X windowing system fonts - Client-side fonts on X using the Xft2 library - Direct rendering of scalable fonts using the FreeType library - Native fonts on Microsoft platforms Dynamically loaded modules then handle text layout for particular combinations of script and font backend. Pango-1.2 ships with a wide selection of modules, including modules for Hebrew, Arabic, Hangul, Thai, and a number of Indic scripts. Virtually all of the world's major scripts are supported. As well as the low level layout rendering routines, Pango includes PangoLayout, a high level driver for laying out entire blocks of text, and routines to assist in editing internationalized text. More information about Pango is available from http://www.pango.org/. Pango depends on version 2.2.0 or newer of the GLib library; more information about GLib can be found at http://www.gtk.org/.
