Returns a description of the font, with font size set in points. Use pango_font_describe_with_absolute_size() if you want the font size in device units.

Returns:

Pango.FontDescription

Returns a description of the font, with absolute font size set (in device units). Use pango_font_describe() if you want the font size in points.

Returns:

Pango.FontDescription

Finds the best matching shaper for a font for a particular language tag and character point.

Parameters:

Pango.Language language Required (not null)

Number ch Required (not null)

Returns:

Pango.EngineShape

Computes the coverage map for a given font and language tag.

Parameters:

Pango.Language language Required (not null)

Returns:

Pango.Coverage

Gets the font map for which the font was created. Note that the font maintains a weak reference to the font map, so if all references to font map are dropped, the font map will be finalized even if there are fonts created with the font map that are still alive. In that case this function will return NULL. It is the responsibility of the user to ensure that the font map is kept alive. In most uses this is not an issue as a PangoContext holds a reference to the font map.

Returns:

Pango.FontMap

Gets the logical and ink extents of a glyph within a font. The coordinate system for each rectangle has its origin at the base line and horizontal origin of the character with increasing coordinates extending to the right and down. The macros PANGO_ASCENT(), PANGO_DESCENT(), PANGO_LBEARING(), and PANGO_RBEARING() can be used to convert from the extents rectangle to more traditional font metrics. The units of the rectangles are in 1/PANGO_SCALE of a device unit. If font is NULL, this function gracefully sets some sane values in the output variables and returns.

Parameters:

Number glyph Required (not null)

Pango.Rectangle ink_rect Required (not null)

or NULL to indicate that the result is not needed.

Pango.Rectangle logical_rect Required (not null)

or NULL to indicate that the result is not needed.

Returns:

none

Gets overall metric information for a font. Since the metrics may be substantially different for different scripts, a language tag can be provided to indicate that the metrics should be retrieved that correspond to the script(s) used by that language. If font is NULL, this function gracefully sets some sane values in the output variables and returns. when finished using the object.

Parameters:

Pango.Language language Required (not null)

for, or NULL to indicate to get the metrics for the entire font.

Returns:

Pango.FontMetrics

Gets the FreeType FT_Face associated with a font, This face will be kept around until you call pango_fc_font_unlock_face().

Returns:

freetype2.Face

Releases a font previously obtained with pango_fc_font_lock_face().

Returns:

none
