[java-gnome-hackers] Pango's Font object

[Andrew C. <an...@op...>]

I've done preliminary coverage of Pango's Font object. This has a
describe() method which allows you to find out information about what
font was actually loaded. You get a Font from Context's loadFont().
Thanks to Behdad for his guidance on this one.

I did a test, ValidatePangoFont, but it's not good enough. I'm not sure
how to articulate a test case for this that doesn't depend on things
like the user's desktop font selections and what fonts are installed on
the system.

Maybe someone could have a try & a think about this.

I've merged this to 'mainline'.

I added the test, but not to the UnitTests suite, as it depends on all
kinds of fonts being installed. On Debian it's:

        ttf-dejavu
        ttf-libertion
        ttf-mscorefonts-installer
        ttf-adf-gillius

        $ java -client -ea -Djava.awt.headless=true -classpath tmp/gtk-4.0.jar:tmp/generator/:tmp/tests/:/usr/share/java/junit.jar com.operationaldynamics.junit.VerboseTestRunner org.gnome.pango.ValidatePangoFonts

will run the test case. I'm *really* open to suggestions of how this
could be done better.
