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 of the work on Pango so far has been done in the context of the GTK+ widget toolkit. Pango forms the core of text and font handling for GTK+-2.x. Pango is designed to be modular; the core Pango layout engine can be used with different font backends. There are three basic backends, with multiple options for rendering with each. - Client side fonts using the FreeType and fontconfig libraries. Rendering can be with with Cairo or Xft libraries, or directly to an in-memory buffer with no additional libraries. - Native fonts on Microsoft Windows. (Optionally using Uniscribe for complex-text handling). Rendering can be done via Cairo or directly using the native Win32 API. - Native fonts on MacOS X, rendering via Cairo. The integration of Pango with Cairo (http://cairographics.org) provides a complete solution with high quality text handling and graphics rendering. Dynamically loaded modules then handle text layout for particular combinations of script and font backend. Pango 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 1.13.1 depends on version 2.10.0 or newer of the GLib library and version 1.1.2 or newer of the cairo library (if the cairo backend is desired); more information about GLib and cairo can be found at http://www.gtk.org/ and http://cairographics.org/ respectively. Overview of changes between 1.13.0 and 1.13.1 ============================================== * Increased robustness against broken pango.modules * Improved build infrastructure: - Remove CAIRO_CFLAGS from pangocairo.pc.in, as it Require's cairo already. - Use -no-undefined on Unix too. * Improved documentation. * Misc fixes. * Bugs fixed in this release: Bug 307196 – Unhinted fonts are measured incorrectly and drawing problems occur as a result Bug 329547 – pango_layout_get_pixel_extents and pango_layout_get_pixel_size cause off-by-one metrics Bug 339747 – pango_font_metrics_get_approximate_digit_width docs Bug 339749 – pango_language_from_string issues Patch from Morten Welinder. Bug 333771 – Use gmodule-no-export-2.0 instead of gmodule-2.0 in pango-uninstalled.pc.in Bug 337594 – pango_glyph_string_extents_range possible bug Bug 329664 – Move gunichar_to_glyph cache from PangoCairoFcFont to PangoFcFont Patch from LingNing Zhang. Bug 322374 – Examples does not build on MacOS X Bug 340229 – pango_font_description_from_string does not do bound checking Bug 329483 – hinting hexbox in cairo backend doesn't handle absolute font size Bug 340040 – pangocairo hex box hinting falls apart with PS/PDF backends Bug 71033 – make size 0 fonts work Behdad Esfahbod 15 May 2006 _______________________________________________ gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
