How can I create a new, or copy an existing, pango context?  I am
currently using the widget.get_pango_context() one, but I can't work out
how to make a new one.  If I use the one attached to the widget I have
to restore everything after every use.
     

widget.create_pango_context() should give you a new one.
   

Thanks!

Why doesn't pango.Context() work though?
 

PangoContext is really an abstract interface.  There are currently 
context implementations for core X fonts (already removed from the HEAD 
branch), Xft, Win32 and freetype.  Widget.create_pango_context() will 
create a context appropriate for use with that widget, so you don't need 
to worry about these details.
