Abstract

Pango is a library for laying out and displaying internationalized text. It handles almost every writing system in the world, and can work on top of multiple different display systems - including traditional X fonts, or client-side OpenType fonts. Pango is used for all text handling in the soon-to-be-released version 2.0 of the commonly used GTK+ widget toolkit.
