Description

The macros and functions in this section are used to access fonts and render text to bitmaps using the FreeType 2 library.

Functions

pango_ft2_font_map_new ()

PangoFontMap *
pango_ft2_font_map_new (void);

Create a new PangoFT2FontMap object; a fontmap is used to cache information about available fonts, and holds certain global parameters such as the resolution and the default substitute function (see pango_ft2_font_map_set_default_substitute()).

Returns

the newly created fontmap object. Unref with g_object_unref() when you are finished with it.

Since: 1.2


pango_ft2_font_map_set_resolution ()

void
pango_ft2_font_map_set_resolution (PangoFT2FontMap *fontmap,
                                   double dpi_x,
                                   double dpi_y);

Sets the horizontal and vertical resolutions for the fontmap.

Parameters

fontmap

a PangoFT2FontMap

 

dpi_x

dots per inch in the X direction

 

dpi_y

dots per inch in the Y direction

 

Since: 1.2


pango_ft2_font_map_create_context ()

PangoContext *
pango_ft2_font_map_create_context (PangoFT2FontMap *fontmap);

pango_ft2_font_map_create_context has been deprecated since version 1.22 and should not be used in newly-written code.

Use pango_font_map_create_context() instead.

Create a PangoContext for the given fontmap.

[skip]

Parameters

fontmap

a PangoFT2FontMap

 

Returns

the newly created context; free with g_object_unref().

[transfer full]

Since: 1.2


PangoFT2SubstituteFunc ()

void
(*PangoFT2SubstituteFunc) (FcPattern *pattern,
                           gpointer data);

Function type for doing final config tweaking on prepared FcPatterns.

Parameters

pattern

the FcPattern to tweak.

 

data

user data.

 

pango_ft2_font_map_set_default_substitute ()

void
pango_ft2_font_map_set_default_substitute
                               (PangoFT2FontMap *fontmap,
                                PangoFT2SubstituteFunc func,
                                gpointer data,
                                GDestroyNotify notify);

Sets a function that will be called to do final configuration substitution on a FcPattern before it is used to load the font. This function can be used to do things like set hinting and antialiasing options.

Parameters

fontmap

a PangoFT2FontMap

 

func

function to call to to do final config tweaking on FcPattern objects.

 

data

data to pass to func

 

notify

function to call when data is no longer used.

 

Since: 1.2


pango_ft2_font_map_substitute_changed ()

void
pango_ft2_font_map_substitute_changed (PangoFT2FontMap *fontmap);

Call this function any time the results of the default substitution function set with pango_ft2_font_map_set_default_substitute() change. That is, if your substitution function will return different results for the same input pattern, you must call this function.

Parameters

fontmap

a PangoFT2FontMap

 

Since: 1.2


pango_ft2_get_context ()

PangoContext *
pango_ft2_get_context (double dpi_x,
                       double dpi_y);

pango_ft2_get_context has been deprecated since version 1.22 and should not be used in newly-written code.

Use pango_font_map_create_context() instead.

Retrieves a PangoContext for the default PangoFT2 fontmap (see pango_ft2_font_map_for_display()) and sets the resolution for the default fontmap to dpi_x by dpi_y .

[skip]

Parameters

dpi_x

the horizontal DPI of the target device

Returns

the new PangoContext.

                  gint x,
                  gint y);

Renders a PangoGlyphString onto a FreeType2 bitmap.

Parameters

bitmap

the FreeType2 bitmap onto which to draw the string

 

font

the font in which to draw the string

 

glyphs

the glyph string to draw

 

x

the x position of the start of the string (in pixels)

 

y

the y position of the baseline (in pixels)

 

pango_ft2_render_transformed ()

void

                              int y);

Renders a PangoGlyphString onto a FreeType2 bitmap, possibly transforming the layed-out coordinates through a transformation matrix. Note that the transformation matrix for font is not changed, so to produce correct rendering results, the font must have been loaded using a PangoContext with an identical transformation matrix to that passed in to this function.

Parameters

bitmap

the FreeType2 bitmap onto which to draw the string

 

font

the font in which to draw the string

 

matrix

a PangoMatrix, or NULL to use an identity transformation.

[nullable]

glyphs

the glyph string to draw

 

x

the x position of the start of the string (in Pango units in user space coordinates)

 

y

the y position of the baseline (in Pango units in user space coordinates)

pango_ft2_font_get_kerning is deprecated and should not be used in newly-written code.

Retrieves kerning information for a combination of two glyphs.

Use pango_fc_font_kern_glyphs() instead.

Parameters

a PangoFont

 

left

the left PangoGlyph

 

right

Returns

a PangoCoverage.


pango_ft2_font_map_for_display ()

Returns

a PangoFT2FontMap.

[transfer none]
