Re: Proposal for Pango extension

I have it already integrated with GD (or other gfx extension).

Cool. I've had a quick look at the GD one. Have you done any others?

The gd part is in gd's repository if you like to look at it. My plan is to have it in PHP itself for the next PHP major version (whatever is the version with good unicode support). Let me know if you like to give a hand.

That's pretty cool, though it doesn't quite line up with what I'm trying to do. I was aiming to have one API that eventually we'll be able to feed CairoContexts or IMagicks or whatever to, and have it behave roughly the same way. There's the plan, at least :) Though I'm doing Cairo first because that's immediately useful to me. If you have Pango in PHP core, though, does that not mean we end up with a dependency on GLib? Or am I misunderstanding? Anyone else got any opinions about what I'm doing? Cheers, Michael
