[cairo] pango.Context from a cairo.ImageSurface ?

[Dominic Lachowicz]

Hi Tobias,

Probably you want something similar to:

// given a cairo surface, create a cairo_t
cairo_create ()

// get default font map
pango_cairo_font_map_get_default ()

// create PangoContext, given a fontmap
pango_cairo_font_map_create_context ()

// sync pango context with cairo context
pango_cairo_update_context ()

http://www.cairographics.org/manual/cairo-cairo-t.html
http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/pango/pango-Cairo-Rendering.html

It looks like you're not using C, but there should be equivalent calls
in whatever binding you're using.

Best,
Dom
