Static functions

configKeyGet

string configKeyGet(string key)

Looks up a key in the Pango config database (pseudo-win.ini style, read from $sysconfdir/pango/pangorc, ~/.pangorc, and getenv (PANGO_RC_FILE).)

getLibSubdirectory

string getLibSubdirectory()

On Unix, returns the name of the "pango" subdirectory of LIBDIR (which is set at compile time). On Windows, returns the lib\pango subdirectory of the Pango installation directory (which is deduced at run time from the DLL's location).

getSysconfSubdirectory

string getSysconfSubdirectory()

On Unix, returns the name of the "pango" subdirectory of SYSCONFDIR (which is set at compile time). On Windows, returns the etc\pango subdirectory of the Pango installation directory (which is deduced at run time from the DLL's location).

isZeroWidth

int isZeroWidth(gunichar ch)

Checks ch to see if it is a character that should not be normally rendered on the screen. This includes all Unicode characters with "ZERO WIDTH" in their name, as well as bidi formatting characters, and a few other ones. This is totally different from g_unichar_iszerowidth() and is at best misnamed. Since 1.10

log2visGetEmbeddingLevels

ubyte* log2visGetEmbeddingLevels(string text, int length, PangoDirection pbaseDir)

This will return the bidirectional embedding levels of the input paragraph Since 1.4

lookupAliases

void lookupAliases(string fontname, string[] families)

Look up all user defined aliases for the alias fontname. The resulting font family names will be stored in families, and the number of families in n_families.

parseEnum

int parseEnum(GType type, string str, int value, int warn, string possibleValues)

Parses an enum type and stores the result in value. If str does not match the nick name of any of the possible values for the enum and is not an integer, FALSE is returned, a warning is issued if warn is TRUE, and a string representing the list of possible values is stored in possible_values. The list is slash-separated, eg. "none/start/middle/end". If failed and possible_values is not NULL, returned string should be freed using g_free(). Since 1.16

parseStretch

int parseStretch(string str, PangoStretch stretch, int warn)

Parses a font stretch. The allowed values are "ultra_condensed", "extra_condensed", "condensed", "semi_condensed", "normal", "semi_expanded", "expanded", "extra_expanded" and "ultra_expanded". Case variations are ignored and the '_' characters may be omitted.

parseStyle

int parseStyle(string str, PangoStyle style, int warn)

Parses a font style. The allowed values are "normal", "italic" and "oblique", case variations being ignored.

parseVariant

int parseVariant(string str, PangoVariant variant, int warn)

Parses a font variant. The allowed values are "normal" and "smallcaps" or "small_caps", case variations being ignored.

parseWeight

int parseWeight(string str, PangoWeight weight, int warn)

Parses a font weight. The allowed values are "heavy", "ultrabold", "bold", "normal", "light", "ultraleight" and integers. Case variations are ignored.

quantizeLineGeometry

void quantizeLineGeometry(int thickness, int position)

Quantizes the thickness and position of a line, typically an underline or strikethrough, to whole device pixels, that is integer multiples of PANGO_SCALE. The purpose of this function is to avoid such lines looking blurry. Care is taken to make sure thickness is at least one pixel when this function returns, but returned position may become zero as a result of rounding. Since 1.12

readLine

int readLine(FILE* stream, StringG str)

Reads an entire line from a file into a buffer. Lines may be delimited with '\n', '\r', '\n\r', or '\r\n'. The delimiter is not written into the buffer. Text after a '#' character is treated as a comment and skipped. '\' can be used to escape a # character. '\' proceeding a line delimiter combines adjacent lines. A '\' proceeding any other character is ignored and written into the output buffer unmodified.

scanInt

int scanInt(string pos, int f_out)

Scans an integer. Leading white space is skipped.

scanString

int scanString(string pos, StringG f_out)

Scans a string into a GString buffer. The string may either be a sequence of non-white-space characters, or a quoted string with '"'. Instead a quoted string, '\"' represents a literal quote. Leading white space outside of quotes is skipped.

scanWord

int scanWord(string pos, StringG f_out)

Scans a word into a GString buffer. A word consists of [A-Za-z_] followed by zero or more [A-Za-z_0-9] Leading white space is skipped.

skipSpace

int skipSpace(string pos)

Skips 0 or more characters of white space.

splitFileList

string[] splitFileList(string str)

Splits a G_SEARCHPATH_SEPARATOR-separated list of files, stripping white space and substituting ~/ with $HOME/.

trimString

string trimString(string str)

Trims leading and trailing whitespace from a string.
