Pango
The goal of the Pango project is to provide an Open Source framework for the layout and rendering of internationalized text. It uses Unicode for all of its encoding, and will eventually support output in all the world's major languages.

Recent commentsRPM update messed up computer
I updated pango recently, and it failed to work. I couldn't figure out what was wrong or how to fix it, cuz I couldn't see any text in gnome. I finally figured out that it was pango, I installed KDE (I could see text in KDE for some reason), I downgraded to an old version of pango, and it worked fine. I don't know what went wrong, but I don't plan on updating it for a while.
