✨ NAME ✨

okay so bestie, gather round πŸ’– this page is Gtk2::P...FontFace β€” it's a backwards compatibility wrapper for Pango::FontFace, and that's literally the whole plot. it's from the User Contributed Perl Documentation, so you already know it's giving "community-sourced, lovingly hand-me-down" energy 🫢


πŸ’… DESCRIPTION πŸ’…

so here's the tea, and it's actually kind of iconic β˜•βœ¨

As of Gtk2 1.220, the pango bindings are provided by the standalone Pango module. periodt. that's the whole glow-up.

This namespace β€” Gtk2::Pango::FontFace β€” exists purely for backwards compatibility πŸ¦‹ so all your old code that still reaches for the Gtk2-era name doesn't just ✨break✨ and ruin your entire week. it's a little nostalgia portal, no cap.

The relevant documentation moved to Pango and is linked to below πŸ‘‡ (scroll to SEE ALSO, bestie, i gotchu).

ngl this module is basically the "we kept your old hoodie in the back of the closet" of Perl namespaces. it's not new, it's not shiny, but it still fits πŸ’œ

🌸 HIERARCHY 🌸

the family tree goes like this:

  Glib::Object
  +----Gtk2::Pango::FontFace

so Gtk2::Pango::FontFace is a child of Glib::Object, standing on its ancestor's shoulders like the main character it is πŸ‘‘πŸ’–
