>Pango is a library for laying out and rendering of text, with an emphasis
on internationalization. Pango can be used anywhere that text layout is
needed, though most of the work on Pango so far has been done in the
context of the GTK+ widget toolkit. Pango forms the core of text and font
handling for GTK+-2.x.
</P
><P
>Pango is designed to be modular; the core Pango layout engine can be used
with different font backends. There are three basic backends:
</P
><UL
><LI
> Client side fonts using the FreeType and fontconfig libraries.
</LI
><LI
> Native fonts on Microsoft Windows using Uniscribe for complex-text handling.
</LI
><LI
> Native fonts on MacOS X using ATSUI for complex-text handling.
</LI
></UL
><P
>The integration of Pango
with Cairo <http:
high quality text handling and graphics rendering.
</P
><P
>Dynamically loaded modules then handle text layout for particular
combinations of script and font backend. Pango ships with a wide selection
of modules, including modules for Hebrew, Arabic, Hangul, Thai, and a
number of Indic scripts. Virtually all of the world's major scripts are
supported.
</P
><P
>As well as the low level layout rendering routines, Pango includes
<TT
><A HREF="Graphics-Rendering-Pango-Layout.html#t%3APangoLayout"
>PangoLayout</A
></TT
>, a high level driver for laying out entire blocks of text, and
routines to assist in editing internationalized text.
</P
><P
>Pango depends on 2.x series of the GLib library.
</P
><P
>This module only re-exports the parts of the Pango library that are relevant for
text rendering (as opposed to integration with other libraries).
