pango-font-map-create-context (fontmap)

fontmap -- a pango-font-map object

The newly allocated pango-context object.

Creates a Pango context connected to fontmap. This is equivalent to the function pango-context-new followed by the function pango-context-font-map.

If you are using Pango as part of a higher-level system, that system may have it's own way of create a Pango context. For instance, the GTK+ toolkit has, among others, the functions gdk-pango-context-for-screen, and gtk-widget-pango-context. Use those instead.
