Hi I am new to GTK+ . I used to use X and motif calls for UI design and i really find GTK to be very flexible and powerful. Thanks to the people who brought it up . I have a small question . I want to write some strings into a drawing area using certain fonts . And I am using Pango for this . Now I want to find out the height and width (ascent and descent etc) of the string so that i can place it properly . Hence I am using the PangoFontMterics. But there is one call which is confusing for me pango_language_from_string (const char *language); where language : a string representing a language tag (as the API says)
Can somebosy tell me what string to passed as the "language" in the above call .Is it related somehow to the locale . I tried passing the string (i want to draw , but it does not work ) I mean for different strings I get the same ascent and descent . I am confused . I think the ascent and descent is based on the font being used . I would apprecite any help on this. Is there any application using pango . Cyrrently I am refering the API Refarence (from gtk.org) Thanks vankat _________________________________________________________________ Join the world�s largest e-mail service with MSN Hotmail. http://www.hotmail.com _______________________________________________ gtk-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
