Use the m17n library with Cairo

New APIs

• Show the text at UTF8 on the surface of CR. It is assumed that UTF8 is NULL-terminated. LANG, if non-NULL, specifies the language of the text by 2-letter code of ISO639-1.

  
  void cairo_m17n_show_text (cairo_t             *cr, 
                             const unsigned char *utf8,
                             const char          *lang);
  

• Calculate the extents of text at UTF8 on the surface of CR and store the information in EXTENTS. It is assumed that UTF8 is NULL-terminated. LANG, if non-NULL, specifies the language of the text by 2-letter code of ISO639-1.

  
  void cairo_m17n_text_extents (cairo_t               *cr,
                                const unsigned char   *utf8,
                                const char            *lang,
                                cairo_text_extents_t  *extents);
  

• Generate path for the text at UTF8 on the surface of CR. It is assumed that UTF8 is NULL-terminated. LANG, if non-NULL, specifies the language of the text by 2-letter code of ISO639-1.

  
  void cairo_m17n_text_path (cairo_t             *cr, 
                             const unsigned char *utf8,
                             const char          *lang);
