Class

PangoContext

Description [src] 

final class Pango.Context : GObject.Object {
  /* No available fields */
}

A PangoContext stores global information used to control the itemization process.

The information stored by PangoContext includes the fontmap used to look up fonts, and default values such as the default language, default gravity, or default font.

To obtain a PangoContext, use pango_font_map_create_context().
