Pango
=====
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 L<Cairo> and/or L<Gtk2> provides a complete
solution with high quality text handling and graphics rendering.

BUG REPORTS
-----------
For help with problems, please contact the mailing list (above). If you
already know you have a bug, please file it with one of the bug trackers
below. With any problems and/or bug reports, it's always helpful for the
developers to have the following information:
- A small script that demonstrates the problem; this is not required, however,
it will get your issue looked at much faster than a description of the
problem alone.
- Version of Perl (perl -v)
- Versions of Gtk2-Perl modules (Glib/Gtk2/Pango/Cairo)
- Optional, but nice to have: versions of GTK+ libraries on your system
(libglib, libgtk+, libpango, libcairo, etc.)
There are multiple project bug trackers, please choose the one you are most
comfortable with using and/or already have an account for.

- submitting bugs via the Web (requires a PAUSE account/Bitcard):
https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Report.html?Queue=Pango
