Yes, this is all done through Pango_Layout. Have a look for instance at
GtkAda.Canvas, which does exactly that, and doesn't use Gdk_Font.
This is completely new in GtkAda2.2, and didn't work with 1.2, where one
indeed had to use Gdk_Font.
But well worth the porting effort, since the drawing of fonts is much
cleaner, especially if you are playing with the sizes...
