Description

The functions and macros in this section are for use with the old X font backend which used server-side bitmap fonts. This font backend is no longer supported, and attempts to use it will produce unpredictable results. Use the Xft or Cairo backend instead.

Warning

pango_x_load_font is deprecated and should not be used in newly-written code.

Warning

pango_x_get_unknown_glyph is deprecated and should not be used in newly-written code.

Returns the index of a glyph suitable for drawing unknown characters; you should generally use PANGO_GET_UNKNOWN_GLYPH() instead, since that may return a glyph that provides a better representation of a particular char.

`charsets` :	the charsets to list subfonts for.
`n_charsets` :	the number of charsets in `charsets`.
`subfont_ids` :	location to store a pointer to an array of subfont IDs for each found subfont; the result must be freed using `g_free()`.

Warning

pango_x_font_map_for_display is deprecated and should not be used in newly-written code.
