Description : pango library X backend
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. however, most of the work on Pango-1.0 was done using the GTK+
widget toolkit as a test platform. Pango forms the core of text and
font handling for GTK+-2.0.
.
Pango is designed to be modular; the core Pango layout can be used with
four different font backends:
- Core X windowing system fonts
- Client-side fonts on X using the Xft library
- Direct rendering of scalable fonts using the FreeType library
- Native fonts on Microsoft backends
.
This package contains the Core X backend.
