PgContext.this

Creates a new PangoContext initialized to default values.

This function is not particularly useful as it should always be followed by a [method@Pango.Context.set_font_map] call, and the function [method@Pango.FontMap.create_context] does these two steps together and hence users are recommended to use that.

If you are using Pango as part of a higher-level system, that system may have it's own way of create a PangoContext. For instance, the GTK toolkit has, among others, gtk_widget_get_pango_context(). Use those instead.

Return Value

the newly allocated PangoContext, which should be freed with g_object_unref().

Throws

ConstructionException GTK+ fails to create the object.
