Function

PangoCairo-1.0PangoCairofont_map_get_defaultSince 1.10

  • Gets a default PangoCairo.FontMap to use with Cairo.

    Note that the type of the returned object will depend on the particular font backend Cairo was compiled to use; you generally should only use the Pango.FontMap and PangoCairo.FontMap interfaces on the returned object.

    The default Cairo fontmap can be changed by using PangoCairo.FontMap.set_default. This can be used to change the Cairo font backend that the default fontmap uses for example.

    Note that since Pango 1.32.6, the default fontmap is per-thread. Each thread gets its own default fontmap. In this way, PangoCairo can be used safely from multiple threads.

    Returns Pango.FontMap

    the default PangoCairo fontmap for the current thread. This object is owned by Pango and must not be freed.
