> I am new to Cairo Graphics. I heard about cairoGraphics from a developer at

> But I want to write the text in different fints like Times new Roman,  Arial

> the user and then on the basis of input by user, I have to write a text on
> the image.  But I am not able to write the text with Times New Roman.
> I am using pango_font_description_from_string(FONT) where FONT is defined as
> #define FONT "Arial 27". It works for Arial but when I try to use Times New
> Roman, it says
> " Pango Warning" couldn't load font Times ", falling back to "Sans not
> Rotaed 27" , expect ugly output.
>
> Please help me in this regard by suggesting how should I proceed?
