<title>Description</title>
<para><link
linkend="class-pangocairocairofontmap"><classname>pangocairo.CairoFontMap</classname></link>
is an interface exported by font maps for use with Cairo. The actual type of
the font map will depend on the particular font technology Cairo was
compiled to use.</para>
<para>Cairo is a graphics library that supports vector graphics and
image compositing that can be used with PyGTK. Since 2.8, GTK+ and Pango do
most of their drawing using Cairo. The Cairo drawing model and primitives
are similar to PostScript which uses an imaging model of painting on a two
dimensional surface.</para>

<para>Creates a new <link
linkend="class-pangocairocairofontmap"><classname>pangocairo.CairoFontMap</classname></link>
object; a fontmap is used to cache information about available fonts, and
holds certain global parameters such as the resolution. In most cases, you
can use the <link
linkend="function-pangocairo--cairo-font-map-get-default"><function>pangocairo.cairo_font_map_get_default</function>()</link>
function instead.</para>
<para>Note that the type of the returned object will depend on the
particular font backend Cairo was compiled to use; You generally should only
use the <link
linkend="class-pangofontmap"><classname>pango.FontMap</classname></link> and
<link
linkend="class-pangocairocairofontmap"><classname>pangocairo.CairoFontMap</classname></link>

<para>The <methodname>set_resolution</methodname>() method sets the
resolution for the fontmap to the value specified by
<parameter>dpi</parameter>. This is a scale factor between the points
specified in a <link

and Cairo units. The default value is 96, meaning that a 10 point font will
be 13 units high. (10 * 96. / 72. = 13.3).</para>
