Hello,
I am having some problems in displaying fonts properly using pango.
In the following code segment, I am displaying a text at a position (50,50) in
a drawing area. For a font size of 24 and family=courier, i am NOT gettting the
message displayed at the exact position (50,50). The starting of the text is
displaced by some pixels from position 50,50. Also I noticed that the amount
displacement varies with font size and type of the font used. Is there any
method to ensure that the text gets displayed in the exact position 50,50
irrespective of font size/family/style/weight.
pango_layout_set_font_description (layout, lFontDesc);
pango_layout_set_text(layout, "test message", 15 );
gdk_draw_layout (lWid->window, lWid->style->fg_gc[GTK_STATE_NORMAL],50,50,
layout);
The full code for the font display routine is given below.
void g_pango_expose(GtkWidget *lWid, gpointer data)
{
gdk_draw_rectangle (lWid->window, lWid->style->fg_gc[GTK_STATE_NORMAL], FALSE,
50, 50, 130, 30);
PangoContext * context = NULL;
PangoLayout * layout = NULL;
context = gtk_widget_create_pango_context(lWid);
layout = pango_layout_new(context);
pango_layout_set_font_description (layout, lFontDesc);
pango_layout_set_text(layout, "test message", 15 );
gdk_draw_layout (lWid->window, lWid->style->fg_gc[GTK_STATE_NORMAL],50,50,
layout);
g_object_unref (layout);
}
Thanks in advance for the help
