Re: Rendering text with an outline

Note that it is not completely trivial to use pango_show_layout_line instead of pango_show_layout as they have different anchor points. pango_show_layout draws with the current point at the upper logical extent of the layout, and pango_show_layout_line draws with respect to the baseline of the text. See:

http://live.gnome.org/PangoLayoutLineBbox

Thus it does not make sense to create a binding for just one of them.

pango_cairo_show_layout() does not appear to be wrapped, but
pango_cairo_show_layout_line() is (as
Pango::LayoutLine::show_in_cairo_context()), so I suggest you use that
with Pango::Layout::get_line() and/or Pango::Layout::get_lines().
