      <application>Pango</application> is a library for laying out and rendering
      of text, with an emphasis on internationalization. It can be used anywhere
      that text layout is needed, though most of the work on
      <application>Pango</application> so far has been done in the context of
      the <application>GTK+</application> widget toolkit.
