Gtk2::P...Metrics(3)

💖 NAME 💖

Gtk2::Pango::FontMetrics — bestie, it's a backwards compatibility wrapper for Pango::FontMetrics. That's the whole job. She's a legacy queen and she knows it. 👑

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Okay so here's the tea. ☕ As of Gtk2 1.220, the pango bindings are provided by the standalone Pango module instead. The way that whole namespace got outsourced?? iconic. 💅

So this namespace? It's just here for backwards compatibility. Keeping the old code alive, no cap. 🫶

The relevant documentation moved to Pango and is linked to below — go check her out, she's the main character now. ✨

🫶 Translation for the besties: if you're writing new code, you want Pango::FontMetrics. This one is here so your old code doesn't break. Periodt.
