PANGO_RENDER_TYPE_FT2

#define PANGO_RENDER_TYPE_FT2 "PangoRenderFT2"

A string constant identifying the FreeType renderer. The associated quark (see g_quark_from_string()) is used to identify the renderer in pango_find_map().

pango_ft2_get_context ()

PangoContext* pango_ft2_get_context         (double dpi_x,
                                             double dpi_y);

Retrieves a PangoContext appropriate for rendering with the PangoFT2 backend.

`dpi_x` :	the horizontal dpi of the target device
`dpi_y` :	the vertical dpi of the target device
Returns :	the new PangoContext

pango_ft2_render ()

void        pango_ft2_render                (FT_Bitmap *bitmap,
                                             PangoFont *font,

                                             gint x,
                                             gint y);

Renders a PangoGlyphString onto a FreeType2 bitmap.

`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_layout_line ()

void        pango_ft2_render_layout_line    (FT_Bitmap *bitmap,
                                             PangoLayoutLine *line,

                                             int y);

Render a PangoLayoutLine onto a FreeType2 bitmap

`bitmap` :	a FT_Bitmap to render the line onto
`line` :	a PangoLayoutLine
`x` :	the x position of start of string (in pixels)
`y` :	the y position of baseline (in pixels)

pango_ft2_render_layout ()

void        pango_ft2_render_layout         (FT_Bitmap *bitmap,
                                             PangoLayout *layout,
                                             int x,
                                             int y);

Render a PangoLayout onto a FreeType2 bitmap

`bitmap` :	a FT_Bitmap to render the line onto
`layout` :	a PangoLayout
`x` :	the X position of the left of the layout (in pixels)
`y` :	the Y position of the top of the layout (in pixels)

pango_ft2_get_unknown_glyph ()

PangoGlyph  pango_ft2_get_unknown_glyph     (PangoFont *font);

Return the index of a glyph suitable for drawing unknown characters.

`font` :	a PangoFont
Returns :	a glyph index into `font`

pango_ft2_font_get_kerning ()

int         pango_ft2_font_get_kerning      (PangoFont *font,
                                             PangoGlyph left,
                                             PangoGlyph right);

Retrieves kerning information for a combination of two glyphs.

`font` :	a PangoFont
`left` :	the left PangoGlyph
`right` :	the right PangoGlyph
Returns :	The amount of kerning (in Pango units) to apply for the given combination of glyphs.

pango_ft2_font_get_face ()

FT_Face     pango_ft2_font_get_face         (PangoFont *font);

Returns the native FreeType2 FT_Face structure used for this PangoFont. This may be useful if you want to use FreeType2 functions directly.

`font` :	a PangoFont
Returns :	a pointer to a FT_Face structure, with the size set correctly

pango_ft2_font_get_coverage ()

PangoCoverage* pango_ft2_font_get_coverage  (PangoFont *font,
