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.

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.
