Description

PangoFcFontMap is a base class for font map implementations using the FontConfig and FreeType libraries. It is used in the Xft and FreeType backends shipped with Pango, but can also be used when creating new backends. Any backend deriving from this base class will take advantage of the wide range of shapers implemented using FreeType that come with Pango.

Details

struct PangoFcFontMap

struct PangoFcFontMap;

PangoFcFontMap is a base class for font map implementations using the FontConfig and FreeType libraries. To create a new backend using Fontconfig and FreeType, you derive from this class and implement a new_font() virtual function that creates an instance deriving from PangoFcFont.

struct PangoFcFontMapClass

struct PangoFcFontMapClass {

  void         (*default_substitute) (PangoFcFontMap   *fontmap,
			              FcPattern        *pattern);
  PangoFcFont  *(*new_font)          (PangoFcFontMap  *fontmap,
			              FcPattern       *pattern);

};

Class structure for PangoFcFontMap.

void (*default_substitute) (PangoFcFontMap *fontmap, FcPattern *pattern) Substitutes in default values for unspecified fields in a FcPattern. This will be called prior to creating a font for the pattern. May be NULL.
PangoFcFont* (*new_font) (PangoFcFontMap *fontmap, FcPattern *pattern) Creates a new PangoFcFont for the specified pattern of the appropriate type for this font map. The pattern argument must be passed to the "pattern" property of PangoFcFont when you call g_object_new()

pango_fc_font_description_from_pattern ()

PangoFontDescription* pango_fc_font_description_from_pattern
                                            (FcPattern *pattern,
                                             gboolean include_size);

Creates a PangoFontDescription that matches the specified Fontconfig pattern as closely as possible. Many possible Fontconfig pattern values, such as FC_RASTERIZER or FC_DPI, don't make sense in the context of PangoFontDescription, so will be ignored.

pattern : a FcPattern
include_size : if TRUE, the pattern will include the size from the pattern; otherwise the resulting pattern will be unsized.
Returns : a new PangoFontDescription. Free with pango_font_description_free().

Since 1.4

pango_fc_font_map_cache_clear ()

void        pango_fc_font_map_cache_clear   (PangoFcFontMap *fcfontmap);

Clear all cached information and fontsets for this font map; this should be called whenever there is a change in the output of the default_substitute() virtual function.

This function is intended to be used only by backend implementations deriving from PangoFcFontmap.

fcfontmap : a PangoFcFontmap

Since 1.4

pango_fc_font_map_create_context ()

PangoContext* pango_fc_font_map_create_context
                                            (PangoFcFontMap *fcfontmap);

Creates a new context for this fontmap. This function is intended only for backend implementations deriving from PangoFcFontmap; it is possible that a backend will store additional information needed for correct operation on the PangoContext after calling this function.

fcfontmap : a PangoFcFontMap
Returns : a new PangoContext

Since 1.4

pango_fc_font_map_shutdown ()

void        pango_fc_font_map_shutdown      (PangoFcFontMap *fcfontmap);

Clears all cached information for the fontmap and marks all fonts open for the fontmap as dead. (See the shutdown() virtual function of PangoFcFont.) This function might be used by a backend when the underlying windowing system for the font map exits. This function is only intended to be called from only for backend implementations deriving from PangoFcFontmap.

fcfontmap : a PangoFcFontmap

Since 1.4
