Description

pangocairo.CairoFontMap 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.

Cairo is a graphics library that supports vector graphics and image compositing that can be used with PyGTK. Since 2.8, GTK+ and Pango do most of their drawing using Cairo. The Cairo drawing model and primitives are similar to PostScript which uses an imaging model of painting on a two dimensional surface.

Constructor

    pangocairo.CairoFontMap()

Creates a new pangocairo.CairoFontMap 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 the pangocairo.cairo_font_map_get_default() function 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 pango.FontMap and pangocairo.CairoFontMap interfaces on the returned object.
