ABSTRACT

23       Pango is a library for laying out and rendering text, with an emphasis
24       on internationalization. Pango can be used anywhere that text layout is
25       needed, but using Pango in conjunction with Cairo and/or Gtk2 provides
26       a complete solution with high quality text handling and graphics
27       rendering.
28
29       Dynamically loaded modules handle text layout for particular
30       combinations of script and font backend. Pango provides a wide
31       selection of modules, including modules for Hebrew, Arabic, Hangul,
32       Thai, and a number of Indic scripts. Virtually all of the world's major
33       scripts are supported.
34
35       In addition to the low level layout rendering routines, Pango includes
36       Pango::Layout, a high level driver for laying out entire blocks of
37       text, and routines to assist in editing internationalized text.

DOCUMENTATION

42       Pango tries to stick very close in spirit to the C API of the
43       underlying pango library.  Thus, the manual available at
44       <http://library.gnome.org/devel/pango/stable/> also applies to this
45       module.  Additionally, API listings in POD form are generated during
46       compilation for each of the sub-modules.  An index of those POD pages
47       is available at Pango::index.
