pangoFontGetGlyphExtents: pangoFontGetGlyphExtents

Description

Gets the logical and ink extents of a glyph within a font. The coordinate system for each rectangle has its origin at the base line and horizontal origin of the character with increasing coordinates extending to the right and down. The functions pangoAscent(), pangoDescent(), pangoLbearing(), and pangoRbearing() can be used to convert from the extents rectangle to more traditional font metrics. The units of the rectangles are in 1/PANGO_SCALE of a device unit.
