Hi, I’ve recently run into a roadblock on a project I was working on and
was wondering if anyone here has some good advice.
I’ve got a big pixmap that I need to draw many characters to(lets say
1000 characters). Each character must be positioned at a particular
points so I can’t just put it into one big Pango layout(which is nice
and fast). I’m currently rendering many single character pango layouts
to the pixmap, but it takes a very long time. I was going to try to use
the draw_text method, but it doesn’t seem to have been implemented.
What is the best/fastest way of drawing a bunch of arbitrarily
positioned characters on a pixbuf? Any ideas?
