<p>The functions with <span class="emphasis"><em>text</em></span> in their name form cairo's
<em class="firstterm">toy</em> text API.  The toy API takes UTF-8 encoded
text and is limited in its functionality to rendering simple
left-to-right text with no advanced features.  That means for example
that most complex scripts like Hebrew, Arabic, and Indic scripts are
out of question.  No kerning or correct positioning of diacritical marks
either.  The font selection is pretty limited too and doesn't handle the
case that the selected font does not cover the characters in the text.
This set of functions are really that, a toy text API, for testing and
demonstration purposes.  Any serious application should avoid them.</p>
<p>The functions with <span class="emphasis"><em>glyphs</em></span> in their name form cairo's
<em class="firstterm">low-level</em> text API.  The low-level API relies on
the user to convert text to a set of glyph indexes and positions.  This
is a very hard problem and is best handled by external libraries, like
the pangocairo that is part of the Pango text layout and rendering library.
Pango is available from <a class="ulink" href="http://www.pango.org/" target="_top">http://www.pango.org/</a>.</p>

<a name="cairo-select-font-face"></a><h3>cairo_select_font_face ()</h3>
<pre class="programlisting"><span class="returnvalue">void</span>
cairo_select_font_face (<em class="parameter"><code><a class="link" href="cairo-cairo-t.html#cairo-t" title="cairo_t"><span class="type">cairo_t</span></a> *cr</code></em>,
                        <em class="parameter"><code>const <span class="type">char</span> *family</code></em>,
                        <em class="parameter"><code><a class="link" href="cairo-text.html#cairo-font-slant-t" title="enum cairo_font_slant_t"><span class="type">cairo_font_slant_t</span></a> slant</code></em>,
                        <em class="parameter"><code><a class="link" href="cairo-text.html#cairo-font-weight-t" title="enum cairo_font_weight_t"><span class="type">cairo_font_weight_t</span></a> weight</code></em>);</pre>
<p>Note: The <a class="link" href="cairo-text.html#cairo-select-font-face" title="cairo_select_font_face ()"><code class="function">cairo_select_font_face()</code></a> function call is part of what
the cairo designers call the "toy" text API. It is convenient for
short demos and simple programs, but it is not expected to be
adequate for serious text-using applications.</p>
<p>Selects a family and style of font from a simplified description as
a family name, slant and weight. Cairo provides no operation to
list available family names on the system (this is a "toy",
remember), but the standard CSS2 generic family names, ("serif",
"sans-serif", "cursive", "fantasy", "monospace"), are likely to
work as expected.</p>
<p>If <em class="parameter"><code>family</code></em>
 starts with the string "<em class="parameter"><code>cairo</code></em>
:", or if no native font
backends are compiled in, cairo will use an internal font family.
The internal font family recognizes many modifiers in the <em class="parameter"><code>family</code></em>

string, most notably, it recognizes the string "monospace".  That is,
the family name "<em class="parameter"><code>cairo</code></em>
:monospace" will use the monospace version of
the internal font family.</p>
<p>For "real" font selection, see the font-backend-specific
font_face_create functions for the font backend you are using. (For
example, if you are using the freetype-based cairo-ft font backend,
see <a class="link" href="cairo-FreeType-Fonts.html#cairo-ft-font-face-create-for-ft-face" title="cairo_ft_font_face_create_for_ft_face ()"><code class="function">cairo_ft_font_face_create_for_ft_face()</code></a> or
<a class="link" href="cairo-FreeType-Fonts.html#cairo-ft-font-face-create-for-pattern" title="cairo_ft_font_face_create_for_pattern ()"><code class="function">cairo_ft_font_face_create_for_pattern()</code></a>.) The resulting font face
could then be used with <a class="link" href="cairo-cairo-scaled-font-t.html#cairo-scaled-font-create" title="cairo_scaled_font_create ()"><code class="function">cairo_scaled_font_create()</code></a> and
<a class="link" href="cairo-text.html#cairo-set-scaled-font" title="cairo_set_scaled_font ()"><code class="function">cairo_set_scaled_font()</code></a>.</p>
<p>Similarly, when using the "real" font support, you can call
directly into the underlying font system, (such as fontconfig or
freetype), for operations such as listing available fonts, etc.</p>
<p>It is expected that most applications will need to use a more
comprehensive font handling and text layout library, (for example,
pango), in conjunction with cairo.</p>
<p>If text is drawn without a call to <a class="link" href="cairo-text.html#cairo-select-font-face" title="cairo_select_font_face ()"><code class="function">cairo_select_font_face()</code></a>, (nor
<a class="link" href="cairo-text.html#cairo-set-font-face" title="cairo_set_font_face ()"><code class="function">cairo_set_font_face()</code></a> nor <a class="link" href="cairo-text.html#cairo-set-scaled-font" title="cairo_set_scaled_font ()"><code class="function">cairo_set_scaled_font()</code></a>), the default
family is platform-specific, but is essentially "sans-serif".
Default slant is <a class="link" href="cairo-text.html#CAIRO-FONT-SLANT-NORMAL:CAPS"><code class="literal">CAIRO_FONT_SLANT_NORMAL</code></a>, and default weight is
<a class="link" href="cairo-text.html#CAIRO-FONT-WEIGHT-NORMAL:CAPS"><code class="literal">CAIRO_FONT_WEIGHT_NORMAL</code></a>.</p>
<p>This function is equivalent to a call to <a class="link" href="cairo-text.html#cairo-toy-font-face-create" title="cairo_toy_font_face_create ()"><code class="function">cairo_toy_font_face_create()</code></a>
followed by <a class="link" href="cairo-text.html#cairo-set-font-face" title="cairo_set_font_face ()"><code class="function">cairo_set_font_face()</code></a>.</p>

<p>After this call the current point is moved to the origin of where

<p>This operation has rendering effects similar to <a class="link" href="cairo-text.html#cairo-show-glyphs" title="cairo_show_glyphs ()"><code class="function">cairo_show_glyphs()</code></a>
but, if the target surface supports it, uses the provided text and
cluster mapping to embed the text for the glyphs shown in the output.
If the target does not support the extended attributes, this function
acts like the basic <a class="link" href="cairo-text.html#cairo-show-glyphs" title="cairo_show_glyphs ()"><code class="function">cairo_show_glyphs()</code></a> as if it had been passed

.</p>
<p>The mapping between <em class="parameter"><code>utf8</code></em>
 and <em class="parameter"><code>glyphs</code></em>
 is provided by an array of
<em class="firstterm">clusters</em>.  Each cluster covers a number of
text bytes and glyphs, and neighboring clusters cover neighboring
areas of <em class="parameter"><code>utf8</code></em>
 and <em class="parameter"><code>glyphs</code></em>
.  The clusters should collectively cover <em class="parameter"><code>utf8</code></em>

and <em class="parameter"><code>glyphs</code></em>
 in entirety.</p>
<p>The first cluster always covers bytes from the beginning of <em class="parameter"><code>utf8</code></em>
.
If <em class="parameter"><code>cluster_flags</code></em>
 do not have the <a class="link" href="cairo-text.html#CAIRO-TEXT-CLUSTER-FLAG-BACKWARD:CAPS"><code class="literal">CAIRO_TEXT_CLUSTER_FLAG_BACKWARD</code></a>

of <em class="parameter"><code>glyphs</code></em>

<p>The <a class="link" href="cairo-text.html#cairo-glyph-t" title="cairo_glyph_t"><span class="type">cairo_glyph_t</span></a> structure holds information about a single glyph
when drawing or measuring text. A font is (in simple terms) a
collection of shapes used to draw text. A glyph is one of these
shapes. There can be multiple glyphs for a single character
(alternates to be used in different contexts, for example), or a
glyph can be a <em class="firstterm">ligature</em> of multiple
characters. Cairo doesn't expose any way of converting input text
into glyphs, so in order to use the Cairo interfaces that take
arrays of glyphs, you must directly access the appropriate
underlying font system.</p>
<p>Note that the offsets given by <em class="parameter"><code>x</code></em>
 and <em class="parameter"><code>y</code></em>
 are not cumulative. When
drawing or measuring text, each glyph is individually positioned
with respect to the overall origin</p>
