.SH ABSTRACT
.IX Header "ABSTRACT"
Pango is a library for laying out and rendering text, with an emphasis on
internationalization. Pango can be used anywhere that text layout is needed,
but using Pango in conjunction with Cairo and/or Gtk2 provides a complete
solution with high quality text handling and graphics rendering.
.PP
Dynamically loaded modules handle text layout for particular combinations of
script and font backend. Pango provides a wide selection of modules, including
modules for Hebrew, Arabic, Hangul, Thai, and a number of Indic
scripts. Virtually all of the world's major scripts are supported.
.PP
In addition to the low level layout rendering routines, Pango includes
Pango::Layout, a high level driver for laying out entire blocks of text, and
routines to assist in editing internationalized text.

.SH DOCUMENTATION
.IX Header "DOCUMENTATION"
Pango tries to stick very close in spirit to the C API of the underlying
pango library.  Thus, the manual available at
<http://library.gnome.org/devel/pango/stable/> also applies to this module.
Additionally, API listings in POD form are generated during compilation for
each of the sub-modules.  An index of those POD pages is available at
Pango::index.
