Licensing Information

Open Source Used In Cisco FXOS 1.1(3) 824
(http://www.fontconfig.org) to look up fonts. At least version 2.0.9
of the FreeType font handling library (http://www.freetype.org) is
also required.
Cairo support depends on the Cairo library (http://cairographics.org).
The Cairo backend is the preferred backend to use Pango with and is
subject of most of the development in the future. It has the
advantage that the same code can be used for display and printing.
We suggest using Pango with Cairo as described above, but you can also
do X-specific rendering using the Xft library. The Xft backend uses
version 2 of the Xft library to manage client side fonts. Version 2 of
Xft is available from http://xlibs.freedesktop.org/release/. You'll
need the libXft package, and possibly the libXrender and renderext
packages as well. You'll also need fontconfig (see below.)
Installation of Pango on Win32 is possible, but is not documented
here. See http://www.gimp.org/~tml/gimp/win32/downloads.html
Notes
=====
- By default, Pango tries to build itself so that no explicit
dependency on Xft or FreeType will be introduced in apps that
link to Pango. This is to avoid compatibility problems with
changes in the Xft or FreeType API's or ABI's. Specifying
--enable-explicit-deps or --enable-static when configuring Pango
will defeat this and should be avoided if possible.
