Thanks a lot for the help . I am using pango_layout_get_extents()
but I think using the above call I can get the width and height
of the string I am using but not the ascent and descent .
Please correct me if I am wrong but ascent and descent is different
than the height ...and to get the ascent and descent i got to use
the PangoMetrics (is it??).
I have one more doubt ..how does the Layout know about the font being used
, because the height/width etc for the string will depend
on the font being used. I did a pango_load_font ..is that correct ??
Thanks
Venkat
