pango:cairo-font-map-new ()

The newly allocated pango:font-map object.

Creates a new PangoCairo font map object. A font map is used to cache information about available fonts, and holds certain global parameters such as the resolution. In most cases, you can use the pango:cairo-font-map-default function instead.

Note that the type of the returned object will depend on the particular font backend Cairo was compiled to use. You generally should only use the pango:font-map and pango:cairo-font-map interfaces on the returned object.
