NAME
       Pango - Layout and render international text

SYNOPSIS
	 my $surface = Cairo::ImageSurface->create ('argb32', 200, 100);
	 my $cr = Cairo::Context->create ($surface);

	 my $layout = Pango::Cairo::create_layout ($cr);
	 $layout->set_text ("\x{03A0}\x{03B1}\x{03BD}\x{8A9E}");

	 my $font = Pango::FontDescription->from_string ('Serif Bold 27');
	 $layout->set_font_description ($font);

	 Pango::Cairo::show_layout($cr, $layout);

	 $surface->write_to_png ('pango.png');

ABSTRACT
       Pango is a library for laying out and rendering text, with an emphasis
       on internationalization. Pango can be used anywhere that text layout is
       needed, but using Pango in conjunction with Cairo and/or Gtk2 provides
       a complete solution with high quality text handling and graphics
       rendering.

       Dynamically loaded modules handle text layout for particular
       combinations of script and font backend. Pango provides a wide
       selection of modules, including modules for Hebrew, Arabic, Hangul,
       Thai, and a number of Indic scripts. Virtually all of the world's major
       scripts are supported.

       In addition to the low level layout rendering routines, Pango includes
       Pango::Layout, a high level driver for laying out entire blocks of
       text, and routines to assist in editing internationalized text.

DOCUMENTATION
       Pango tries to stick very close in spirit to the C API of the
       underlying pango library.  Thus, the manual available at
       <http://library.gnome.org/devel/pango/stable/> also applies to this
       module.	Additionally, API listings in POD form are generated during
       compilation for each of the sub-modules.	 An index of those POD pages
       is available at Pango::index.

SEE ALSO
       perl, Glib, Cairo, Gtk2.

       Pango::index lists the autogenerated API documentation pod files for
       Pango.

       <http://www.pango.org/> is the homepage of the pango C library.	Its
       API documentation is available at
       <http://library.gnome.org/devel/pango/stable/>.
