@Generated("io.github.jwharm.JavaGI")
public interface FontMap
extends Proxy

PangoCairoFontMap is an interface exported by font maps for use with Cairo.

The actual type of the font map will depend on the particular font technology Cairo was compiled to use.

Method Details

getType

static Type getType()

Get the GType of the FontMap class

Returns:

the GType

getDefault

static FontMap getDefault()

Gets a default PangoCairoFontMap 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 PangoFontMap and PangoCairoFontMap interfaces on the returned object.

The default Cairo fontmap can be changed by using setDefault(). 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:

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

new_

static FontMap new_()

Creates a new PangoCairoFontMap object.

A fontmap is used to cache information about available fonts, and holds certain global parameters such as the resolution. In most cases, you can use func@PangoCairo.font_map_get_default] instead. 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 PangoFontMap and PangoCairoFontMap` interfaces on the returned object.

You can override the type of backend returned by using an environment variable PANGOCAIRO_BACKEND. Supported types, based on your build, are fc (fontconfig), win32, and coretext. If requested type is not available, NULL is returned. Ie. this is only useful for testing, when at least two backends are compiled in.

Returns:

the newly allocated PangoFontMap, which should be freed with g_object_unref().

newForFontType

static FontMap newForFontType(org.freedesktop.cairo.FontType fonttype)

Creates a new PangoCairoFontMap object of the type suitable to be used with cairo font backend of type fonttype.

In most cases one should simply use new_(), or in fact in most of those cases, just use getDefault().

Parameters:

fonttype - desired cairo_font_type_t

Returns:

the newly allocated PangoFontMap of suitable type which should be freed with g_object_unref(), or null if the requested cairo font backend is not supported / compiled in.

createContext

@Deprecated
default Context createContext()

Deprecated.

Use pango_font_map_create_context() instead.

Create a PangoContext for the given fontmap.

Returns:

the newly created context; free with g_object_unref().

getFontType

default org.freedesktop.cairo.FontType getFontType()

Gets the type of Cairo font backend that this FontMap uses.

Returns:

the cairo_font_type_t cairo font backend type

getResolution

default double getResolution()

Gets the resolution for the fontmap.

See setResolution(double).

Returns:

the resolution in "dots per inch"

setDefault

default void setDefault()

Sets a default PangoCairoFontMap to use with Cairo.

This can be used to change the Cairo font backend that the default fontmap uses for example. The old default font map is unreffed and the new font map referenced.

Note that since Pango 1.32.6, the default fontmap is per-thread. This function only changes the default fontmap for the current thread. Default fontmaps of existing threads are not changed. Default fontmaps of any new threads will still be created using new_().

A value of null for this FontMap will cause the current default font map to be released and a new default font map to be created on demand, using new_().

setResolution

default void setResolution(double dpi)

Sets the resolution for the fontmap.

This is a scale factor between points specified in a PangoFontDescription and Cairo units. The default value is 96, meaning that a 10 point font will be 13 units high. (10 * 96. / 72. = 13.3).

Parameters:

dpi - the resolution in "dots per inch". (Physical inches aren't actually involved; the terminology is conventional.)
