Well, one easy way to do it is to just draw the first line of the layout instead of the entire layout - since the y origin when drawing a single line is at the baseline of the line. PangoLayoutLine *line = pango_layout_get_lines(layout)->data; pango_show_layout_line(cr, line); If you want to draw an entire layout with the first line positioned at a particular y position, then you'd need to get the ascent of the first line: PangoRectangle rect; pango_layout_line_get_extents(line, NULL, &rect); double ascent = (double)PANGO_ASCENT(rect) / PANGO_SCALE; It might be handy to have a convenience function to get this - pango_layout_get_depth(), say, to steal terminology from TeX. - Owen _______________________________________________ gtk-list mailing list gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
