[java-gnome-hackers] Pango work merged to 'mainline'

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

I've been working pretty hard at finishing up our 'pango' branch adding
functionality for drawing text, and tonight merged that work to
'mainline'.

It's looking pretty good at this point. Drawing text to images, screen,
and PDF backends are all working nicely. In particular, we have a lovely
example of drawing text to PDF which was some good fun (and more to the
point, an effective test bed).

Serkan Kaba and Kenneth Prugh have both been really helpful testing, and
of course Vreixo Formoso was the one who started the branch back in
April.

This also merges some work on a related 'cairo-image-caching' branch,
where I did my best to incorporate some of the knowledge and best
practices for image loading and efficient resource management passed on
by Carl Worth, Davyd Madeley, and Mathias Hasselman to whom we owe great
thanks.

Cheers,

AfC
