Widget.createPangoLayout

Creates a new PangoLayout with the appropriate font map, font description, and base direction for drawing text for this widget. If you keep a PangoLayout created in this way around, you need to re-create it when the widget PangoContext is replaced. This can be tracked by using the "screen-changed" signal on the widget.
