Thank you. Now I have a pango.CairoContext and I can draw text with

layout = pctx.create_layout()
layout.set_font_description(myfontdesc)
layout.set_text(mytext)
pctx.show_layout(layout)

Works fine. It recognize my font description ...

but layout.set_alignment(pango.ALIGN_CENTER) does not work. It has no
effect.

Could anyone tell me why?
