Package: libpango1.0-0-dbg (1.26.1-1 and others)

The Pango library and debugging symbols

Pango is a library for layout and rendering of text, with an emphasis on internationalization. Pango can be used anywhere that text layout is needed. however, most of the work on Pango-1.0 was done using the GTK+ widget toolkit as a test platform. Pango forms the core of text and font handling for GTK+-2.0.

Pango is designed to be modular; the core Pango layout can be used with four different font backends:

 - Core X windowing system fonts
 - Client-side fonts on X using the Xft library
 - Direct rendering of scalable fonts using the FreeType library
 - Native fonts on Microsoft backends

This package contains the debugging symbols. Most people will not need this package.
