Hello, I need to know the size of chars(width,height) written in a text view, so I could calculate the number of "words" per line I could write. So I downloaded "gnome-terminal" source code to see if I could understand how can it do it, but I'm little confused. I just want to know the width and heigth of a given monospace font cell, looking at the documentation I only found: pango_font_metrics_get_approximate_digit_width() [ http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/pango/pango-Fonts.html#id2931730 ] but I need the fontmetrics, I can get the metrics from a fontset, but how do I get the fontset? gdk functions that do it are deprecated. Seems too complicated for something so simple. Do you know a good pango tutorial/ebook that covers this? Any simple program that already do this with viewable code?
