library for a library for laying out and rendering of text, with an emphasis on internationalization

According to the web page http://www.pango.org/:

Pango is a library for laying out and rendering of text, with an emphasis on internationalization. Pango can be used anywhere that text layout is needed, though most of the work on Pango so far has been done in the context of the GTK+ widget toolkit. Pango forms the core of text and font handling for GTK+-2.x.

The integration of Pango with Cairo provides a complete solution with high quality text handling and graphics rendering.

For a simple Hello World style program with a Makefile that should compile on CSIL (though it doesn’t as of 02/06/2018, and we are hoping to get that remedied), see:

That will create an output file in .png format.
