I need to be able to correctly calculate a bounding box for a string in a particular rendered font. At the moment I am creating a PangoLayout with a particular string and font description, then calling pango_layout_get_pixel_size. This seems to work when the rendered font is non-italic. However, when I italicize the font description, the query to pango_layout_get_pixel_size returns the same value, even though the rendered font is wider than the returned dimensions.
Is there a way to accurately query the size of a rendered string so that I can return a bounding box that covers the entire font regardless of whether it is italicized or not.
Thanks for your time
