Pango-1.48.4
Introduction to Pango
Pango is a library for laying out
and rendering text, with an emphasis on internationalization. It
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.
This package is known to build and work properly using an LFS-10.1
platform.

Installation of Pango
Install Pango by running the
following commands:
mkdir build &&
cd build &&

To test the results, issue: ninja
test. Three tests, test-font, test-layout, and test-itemize, are known to fail if Cantarell fonts are not installed.
