pango font with underline style

Hello,

this works,
pango_font_description_from_string 'Courier italic bold 12'

but this doesn't
pango_font_description_from_string 'Courier underline 12'

Does anyone know how to get a pango font with underline style?

thank you.

I could be mistaking, but, I believe "courier italic" is considered a font itself, thus the name "courier italic" is valid. However, and underline is not an actual different font but a line drawn below the text-line.

I can't answer how, but I think there is another way to apply an underline with pango and markup. Something along the lines of putting the underline in the span tag.

I browse the source of pango and find that the following options,

Code:

static const FieldMap style_map[] = {
  { PANGO_STYLE_NORMAL, "" },
  { PANGO_STYLE_OBLIQUE, "Oblique" },
  { PANGO_STYLE_ITALIC, "Italic" }
};

static const FieldMap variant_map[] = {
  { PANGO_VARIANT_NORMAL, "" },
  { PANGO_VARIANT_SMALL_CAPS, "Small-Caps" }
};

static const FieldMap weight_map[] = {
  { PANGO_WEIGHT_ULTRALIGHT, "Ultra-Light" },
  { PANGO_WEIGHT_LIGHT, "Light" },
  { PANGO_WEIGHT_NORMAL, "" },
  { 500, "Medium" },
  { PANGO_WEIGHT_SEMIBOLD, "Semi-Bold" },
  { PANGO_WEIGHT_BOLD, "Bold" },
  { PANGO_WEIGHT_ULTRABOLD, "Ultra-Bold" },
  { PANGO_WEIGHT_HEAVY, "Heavy" }
};

static const FieldMap stretch_map[] = {
  { PANGO_STRETCH_ULTRA_CONDENSED, "Ultra-Condensed" },
  { PANGO_STRETCH_EXTRA_CONDENSED, "Extra-Condensed" },
  { PANGO_STRETCH_CONDENSED,       "Condensed" },
  { PANGO_STRETCH_SEMI_CONDENSED,  "Semi-Condensed" },
  { PANGO_STRETCH_NORMAL,          "" },
  { PANGO_STRETCH_SEMI_EXPANDED,   "Semi-Expanded" },
  { PANGO_STRETCH_EXPANDED,        "Expanded" },
  { PANGO_STRETCH_EXTRA_EXPANDED,  "Extra-Expanded" },
  { PANGO_STRETCH_ULTRA_EXPANDED,  "Ultra-Expanded" }
};

static const FieldMap gravity_map[] = {
  { PANGO_GRAVITY_SOUTH, "Not-Rotated" },
  { PANGO_GRAVITY_SOUTH, "South" },
  { PANGO_GRAVITY_SOUTH, "Upside-Down" },
  { PANGO_GRAVITY_NORTH, "North" },
  { PANGO_GRAVITY_EAST,  "Rotated-Left" },
  { PANGO_GRAVITY_EAST,  "East" },
  { PANGO_GRAVITY_WEST,  "Rotated-Right" },
  { PANGO_GRAVITY_WEST,  "West" }
};

so that I suppose there is no underline attribute as a modifier to pango font, There may be a font with underline built-in.

There is no underline attribute for pdf either, I guess this attribute is consider un-important.

Thanks for the pointer to markup.
