About Pango:
The goal of the Pango project is to provide an open-source framework
for the layout and rendering of internationalized text. Pango is an
offshoot of the GTK+ and GNOME projects, and the initial focus is
operation in those environments, however there is nothing
fundamentally GTK+ or GNOME specific about Pango. Pango uses Unicode
for all of its encoding, and will eventually support output in all the
worlds major languages.
Changes between 0.13 and 0.14
* Win32 improvements [Tor]
* Much better boundary resolution using algorithms from the Unicode
standard [Havoc]
* Initial support for anti-aliased TrueType and OpenType fonts
using the Xft and Xrender libraries from XFree86 4. [Owen]
* Fix the FreeType support on Unix so it can be used for the frame-buffer
port of GTK+. [Alex]
* Fix up module building [Alex]
* Add average-character-width font metric [Havoc]
* Bug fixes
Notes:
* This release requires the soon-to-be-released GLib-1.3.3
* This does not include either Vikram's new Tamil shaper or
the improvements in the latest Fribidi. I'll make another
release soon.
