<a name="cairo-text.description"></a><h2>Description</h2>
<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-text.functions_details"></a><h2>Functions</h2>
<div class="refsect2">
<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>

<p>A drawing operator that generates the shape from a string of UTF-8
characters, rendered according to the current font_face, font_size

<p>This function first computes a set of glyphs for the string of
text. The first glyph is placed so that its origin is at the
current point. The origin of each subsequent glyph is offset from
that of the previous glyph by the advance values of the previous
glyph.</p>
<p>After this call the current point is moved to the origin of where
the next glyph would be placed in this same progression. That is,
the current point will be at the origin of the final glyph offset
by its advance values. This allows for easy display of a single
logical string with multiple calls to <a class="link" href="cairo-text.html#cairo-show-text" title="cairo_show_text ()"><code class="function">cairo_show_text()</code></a>.</p>
<p>Note: The <a class="link" href="cairo-text.html#cairo-show-text" title="cairo_show_text ()"><code class="function">cairo_show_text()</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. See <a class="link" href="cairo-text.html#cairo-show-glyphs" title="cairo_show_glyphs ()"><code class="function">cairo_show_glyphs()</code></a> for the
"real" text display API in cairo.</p>

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>

drawing or measuring text, each glyph is individually positioned

<p>The <a class="link" href="cairo-text.html#cairo-text-cluster-t" title="cairo_text_cluster_t"><span class="type">cairo_text_cluster_t</span></a> structure holds information about a single
<em class="firstterm">text cluster</em>. A text cluster is a minimal
mapping of some glyphs corresponding to some UTF-8 text.</p>
<p>For a cluster to be valid, both <em class="parameter"><code>num_bytes</code></em>
and <em class="parameter"><code>num_glyphs</code></em>
should
be non-negative, and at least one should be non-zero.
Note that clusters with zero glyphs are not as well supported as
normal clusters. For example, PDF rendering applications typically
ignore those clusters when PDF text is being selected.</p>
<p>See <a class="link" href="cairo-text.html#cairo-show-text-glyphs" title="cairo_show_text_glyphs ()"><code class="function">cairo_show_text_glyphs()</code></a> for how clusters are used in advanced
text operations.</p>
