Structures

PangoScriptIter

A PangoScriptIter is used to iterate through a string and identify ranges in different scripts.

PangoLanguage

The PangoLanguage structure is used to represent a language. PangoLanguage pointers can be efficiently copied and compared with each other.

Enums and Flags

PangoScript

The PangoScript enumeration identifies different writing systems. The values correspond to the names as defined in the Unicode standard. Note that new types may be added in the future. Applications should be ready to handle unknown values. This enumeration is interchangeable with GUnicodeScript. See Unicode Standard Annex #24: Script names (http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr24/).
