get_default
Description:
Gets a default `PangoCairoFontMap` to use with Cairo.
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 `PangoFontMap` and `PangoCairoFontMap` interfaces on the returned object.
The default Cairo fontmap can be changed by using [method@PangoCairo.FontMap.set_default]. This can be used to change the Cairo font backend that the default fontmap uses for example.
Note that since Pango 1.32.6, the default fontmap is per-thread. Each thread gets its own default fontmap. In this way, PangoCairo can be used safely from multiple threads.
Returns:
the default PangoCairo fontmap for the current thread. This object is owned by Pango and must not be freed. |
