Function

PangoCairo.FontMap.get_default

Declaration [src]

PangoFontMap*
pango_cairo_font_map_get_default (
  void
)

Description [src]

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 pango_cairo_font_map_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.

Available since:1.10

Return value

Returns: PangoFontMap*

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