Reads an entire line from a file into a buffer. Lines may be delimited with '\n', '\r', '\n\r', or '\r\n'. The delimiter is not written into the buffer. Text after a '#' character is treated as a comment and skipped. '\' can be used to escape a # character. '\' proceeding a line delimiter combines adjacent lines. A '\' proceeding any other character is ignored and written into the output buffer unmodified.

pango_skip_space ()

gboolean            pango_skip_space                    (const char **pos);

Skips 0 or more characters of white space.

pango_scan_int ()

gboolean            pango_scan_int                      (const char **pos,

                                                         char **possible_values);

Parses an enum type and stores the result in value.

If str does not match the nick name of any of the possible values for the enum and is not an integer, FALSE is returned, a warning is issued if warn is TRUE, and a string representing the list of possible values is stored in possible_values. The list is slash-separated, eg. "none/start/middle/end". If failed and possible_values is not NULL, returned string should be freed using g_free().

pango_log2vis_get_embedding_levels ()

guint8 *            pango_log2vis_get_embedding_levels  (const gchar *text,

This will return the bidirectional embedding levels of the input paragraph as defined by the Unicode Bidirectional Algorithm available at:

http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr9/

If the input base direction is a weak direction, the direction of the characters in the text will determine the final resolved direction.

pango_is_zero_width ()

gboolean            pango_is_zero_width                 (gunichar ch);

Checks ch to see if it is a character that should not be normally rendered on the screen. This includes all Unicode characters with "ZERO WIDTH" in their name, as well as bidi formatting characters, and a few other ones. This is totally different from g_unichar_iszerowidth() and is at best misnamed.

pango_quantize_line_geometry ()

void                pango_quantize_line_geometry        (int *thickness,
                                                         int *position);

Quantizes the thickness and position of a line, typically an underline or strikethrough, to whole device pixels, that is integer multiples of PANGO_SCALE. The purpose of this function is to avoid such lines looking blurry.

Care is taken to make sure thickness is at least one pixel when this function returns, but returned position may become zero as a result of rounding.
