- Pango, a text layout and rendering engine with an emphasis on Internationalisation. Given a string of UTF-8 text, and a preference of fonts, it selects appropriate fonts to cover the characters being written and renders them to the screen. Uses combination of fontconfig, freetype, Xft and Cairo (some languages have native non-font renderers) Also another question: - Why are there so many differences of opinion about how much hinting fonts require, which method of hinting to use, and which of the results looks better Scott -- Scott James Remnant Ubuntu Development Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED]
