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 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/. Bugs should be reported to http://bugzilla.gnome.org. Pango 1.18 depends on version 2.14.0 or newer of the GLib library and version 1.2.6 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 1.17.5 and 1.18.0 ============================================== - Make pango_script_for_unichar() just call g_unichar_get_script(), and document that PangoScript and GUnicodeScript are interchangeable enumerations. - Misc bug fixes - Bugs fixed in this release: Bug 348348 – Add a way to get the script name of a gunichar Bug 451682 – Cursor positioning for Sinhala is broken Based on patch from Harshula Bug 462137 – memory corruption in pango_default_break Bug 462420 – Clicking on pixbuf should move the cursor to the position nearest to the click point Bug 462630 – pango_cairo_context_set_font_options() and some others don't have a Since: tag Bug 464183 – Minimum tab width enforcement in pango-layout breaks TabArray positions Patch by David Trowbridge Bug 464270 – ellipsize doesn't work consistent Bug 465174 – TextView is ignoring multiple consecutive \t's Bug 466755 – pango hangul is crashing in gnome-about because it is failing to retrieve a font.
