The Xft library is a library for displaying fonts on the X window system; internally it uses the fontconfig library to locate font files, and the FreeType library to load and render fonts. The Xft backend is the recommended Pango font backend for screen display with X. (The Cairo back end is another possibility.)
Using the Xft backend is generally straightforward;
pango_xft_get_context()
creates a context for a specified display
and screen. You can then create a PangoLayout with that context
and render it with pango_xft_render_layout()
. At a more advanced
level, the low-level fontconfig options used for rendering fonts
can be affected using pango_xft_set_default_substitute()
, and
pango_xft_substitute_changed()
.
A range of functions for drawing pieces of a layout, such as individual layout lines and glyphs strings are provided. You can also directly create a PangoXftRenderer. Finally, in some advanced cases, it is useful to derive from PangoXftRenderer. Deriving from PangoXftRenderer is useful for two reasons. One reason is be to support custom attributes by overriding PangoRendererClass virtual functions like 'prepare_run' or 'draw_shape'. The reason is to customize exactly how the final bits are drawn to the destination by overriding the PangoXftRendererClass virtual functions 'composite_glyphs' and 'composite_trapezoids'.
typedef struct _PangoXftFont PangoXftFont;
PangoXftFont is an implementation of PangoFcFont using the Xft library for rendering. It is used in conjunction with PangoXftFontMap.
typedef struct _PangoXftFontMap PangoXftFontMap;
PangoXftFontMap is an implementation of PangoFcFontMap suitable for the Xft library as the renderer. It is used in to create fonts of type PangoXftFont.
