## Description

The macros and functions in this section are used to access fonts natively on Win32 systems and to render text in conjunction with Win32 APIs.

## Functions

### pango_win32_get_context ()

    PangoContext *
    pango_win32_get_context (void);

`pango_win32_get_context` has been deprecated since version 1.22 and should not be used in newly-written code.

Use `pango_win32_font_map_for_display()` followed by `pango_font_map_create_context()` instead.

Retrieves a PangoContext appropriate for rendering with Windows fonts.

#### Returns

the new PangoContext

### pango_win32_render ()

    void
    pango_win32_render (HDC hdc,
                        PangoFont *font,
                        PangoGlyphString *glyphs,
                        gint x,
                        gint y);

Render a PangoGlyphString onto a Windows DC

#### Parameters

hdc | the device context |
font | the font in which to draw the string |
glyphs | the glyph string to draw |
x | the x position of start of string (in pixels) |
y | the y position of baseline (in pixels) |

### pango_win32_render_transformed ()

    void
    pango_win32_render_transformed (HDC hdc,
                                    const PangoMatrix *matrix,
                                    PangoFont *font,
                                    PangoGlyphString *glyphs,
                                    int x,
                                    int y);

Renders a PangoGlyphString onto a windows DC, possibly transforming the layed-out coordinates through a transformation matrix. Note that the transformation matrix for `font` is not changed, so to produce correct rendering results, the `font` must have been loaded using a PangoContext with an identical transformation matrix to that passed in to this function.

#### Parameters

hdc | a windows device context |
matrix | a PangoMatrix, or `NULL` to use an identity transformation. | [nullable]
font | the font in which to draw the string |
glyphs | the glyph string to draw |
x | the x position of the start of the string (in Pango units in user space coordinates) |
y | the y position of the baseline (in Pango units in user space coordinates) |

### pango_win32_render_layout_line ()

    void
    pango_win32_render_layout_line (HDC hdc,
                                    PangoLayoutLine *line,
                                    int x,
                                    int y);

Render a PangoLayoutLine onto a device context. For underlining to work property the text alignment of the DC should have TA_BASELINE and TA_LEFT.

#### Parameters

### pango_win32_font_get_metrics_factor ()

    double
    pango_win32_font_get_metrics_factor (PangoFont *font);

Returns the scale factor from logical units in the coordinate space used by `pango_win32_font_select_font()` to Pango units in user space.

#### Parameters

font | a PangoFont from the win32 backend |

#### Returns

factor to multiply logical units by to get Pango units.

hfont | the HFONT to unload |

### pango_win32_font_map_for_display ()

    PangoFontMap *
    pango_win32_font_map_for_display (void);

Returns a PangoWin32FontMap. Font maps are cached and should not be freed. If the font map is no longer needed, it can be released with `pango_win32_shutdown_display()`.

#### Returns

a PangoFontMap.

### pango_win32_shutdown_display ()

    void
    pango_win32_shutdown_display (void);

Free cached resources.

### pango_win32_font_map_get_font_cache ()

### pango_win32_font_logfont ()

    LOGFONTA *
    pango_win32_font_logfont (PangoFont *font);

Determine the LOGFONTA struct for the specified font. Note that Pango internally uses LOGFONTW structs, so if converting the UTF-16 face name in the LOGFONTW struct to system codepage fails, the returned LOGFONTA will have an emppty face name. To get the LOGFONTW of a PangoFont, use `pango_win32_font_logfontw()`. It is recommended to do that always even if you don't expect to come across fonts with odd names.

#### Parameters

font | a PangoFont which must be from the Win32 backend |

#### Returns

A newly allocated LOGFONTA struct. It must be freed with `g_free()`.

### pango_win32_font_logfontw ()

    LOGFONTW *
    pango_win32_font_logfontw (PangoFont *font);

Determine the LOGFONTW struct for the specified font.

#### Parameters

font | a PangoFont which must be from the Win32 backend |

#### Returns

A newly allocated LOGFONTW struct. It must be freed with `g_free()`.

Since: 1.16

### pango_win32_font_description_from_logfont ()

    PangoFontDescription *
    pango_win32_font_description_from_logfont
                                   (const LOGFONTA *lfp);

Creates a PangoFontDescription that matches the specified LOGFONTA.

The face name, italicness and weight fields in the LOGFONTA are used to set up the resulting PangoFontDescription. If the face name in the LOGFONTA contains non-ASCII characters the font is temporarily loaded (using `CreateFontIndirect()`) and an ASCII (usually English) name for it is looked up from the font name tables in the font data. If that doesn't work, the face name is converted from the system codepage to UTF-8 and that is used.

#### Parameters

lfp | a LOGFONTA |

#### Returns

the newly allocated PangoFontDescription, which should be freed using `pango_font_description_free()`

Since: 1.12

### pango_win32_font_description_from_logfontw ()

    PangoFontDescription *
    pango_win32_font_description_from_logfontw
                                   (const LOGFONTW *lfp);

Creates a PangoFontDescription that matches the specified LOGFONTW.

The face name, italicness and weight fields in the LOGFONTW are used to set up the resulting PangoFontDescription. If the face name in the LOGFONTW contains non-ASCII characters the font is temporarily loaded (using `CreateFontIndirect()`) and an ASCII (usually English) name for it is looked up from the font name tables in the font data. If that doesn't work, the face name is converted from UTF-16 to UTF-8 and that is used.

#### Parameters

lfp | a LOGFONTW |

#### Returns

the newly allocated PangoFontDescription, which should be freed using `pango_font_description_free()`

Since: 1.16
