[cairo] Help needed using different fonts

[Deepak Kumar JAIN]

Hello Maarten

I am working with MS Visual Studio 2008 on 64 bit windows with cairo and
pango.

This is the following code.
*
draw_text (cairo_t *cr)
{
#define RADIUS 150
#define N_WORDS 10
#define FONT "Monotype Corsiva,27"
  PangoLayout *layout;
  PangoFontDescription *desc;
  int i;
  /* Center coordinates on the middle of the region we are drawing
   */
  /* Create a PangoLayout, set the font and text */
  layout = pango_cairo_create_layout (cr);
  pango_layout_set_text (layout, "Text", -1);
  desc = pango_font_description_from_string (FONT);
  pango_layout_set_font_description (layout, desc);
  pango_font_description_free (desc);
  /* Draw the layout N_WORDS times in a circle */
      int width, height;
      double red;
      cairo_save (cr);
      /* Gradient from red at angle == 60 to blue at angle == 240 */
      cairo_set_source_rgb (cr, 1, 0, 0);
      /* Inform Pango to re-layout the text with the new transformation */
      pango_cairo_update_layout (cr, layout);
      pango_layout_get_size (layout, &width, &height);
      cairo_move_to (cr, - ((double)width / PANGO_SCALE) / 2, - RADIUS);
      pango_cairo_show_layout (cr, layout);
      cairo_restore (cr);
  /* free the layout object */
  g_object_unref (layout);
}
int main (int argc, char **argv)
{
  cairo_t *cr;
  char *filename;
  cairo_status_t status;
  cairo_surface_t *surface;
  filename = "montotype1.png";
  surface = cairo_image_surface_create (CAIRO_FORMAT_ARGB32,
                                        2 * RADIUS, 2 * RADIUS);
  cr = cairo_create (surface);
  cairo_set_source_rgb (cr, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0);
  cairo_paint (cr);
  draw_text (cr);
  cairo_destroy (cr);
  status = cairo_surface_write_to_png (surface, filename);
  cairo_surface_destroy (surface);
  if (status != CAIRO_STATUS_SUCCESS)
    {
      g_printerr ("Could not save png to '%s'\n", filename);
      return 1;
    }
  cin.get();
  return 0;
}*

Working with Times Roman, I used ",;" and it worked but when I try Monotype
Corsiva, it throws the same warning as

PANGO Warning: Couldn't load font " Monotype Corsiva -not Rotated 27",
falling back to "Sans Not -Rotated 27" , expect ugly output.

Thanks,
Deepak
