What I mean by that is that PangoLayout gives paragraph formatting (how the lines are laid out) and PangoAttrType attributes and the markup language give the character formatting (applied to characters/words in the paragraphs). What I want to do is to set the indent for the first line of each paragraph (it’s a numbered list and I want to set the indent -ve so that the numbers are left of the text). There is no way to do that in the Pango attributes/markup - what I need is pango_layout_set_indent(). > On Thu, Oct 30, 2008 at 5:02 AM, Ian Puleston> <ian@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:> >> -----Original Message-----> >> From: Milosz Derezynski [mailto:internalerror@xxxxxxxxx]> >> Sent: Wednesday, October 29, 2008 5:24 PM> >>> >> You can use gtk_label_set_markup() and set the internal Layout of> the> >> Label using Pango markup, or use gtk_label_get_layout() (it's safe> to> >> call this function without realizing the widget first); that way> >> actually have the Label's/a PangoLayout and can modify it as you> were> >> used to.
