In Windows, SDL_Pango is distributed as "merge module" which contains fontconfig and Pango. You should carefully design your installation process. If your software is shipped as shrink-wrap package, it may cause much problem on your support desk. If you use SDL_Pango, your software will require those modules installed to target system. In Un*x, SDL_Pango is hard to use as system-independent module, because it depends on fontconfig and Pango which are designed as system-singleton modules. So I will start to introduce SDL_Pango from the viewpoint of distribution. If you are a game software developer, you should know the difficulties of distribution. In Windows, pre-built binary package (MSI and merge module) is provided.

Pango is the text rendering engine of GNOME 2.x. Main Page | Class List | File List | File Members SDL_Pango Documentation
