Get a string that is representative of the characters needed to
render a particular language.
The sample text may be a pangram, but is not necessarily. It is chosen to
be demonstrative of normal text in the language, as well as exposing font
feature requirements unique to the language. It is suitable for use
as sample text in a font selection dialog.
If language is NULL, the default language as found by
pango_language_get_default() is used.
If Pango does not have a sample string for language, the classic
"The quick brown fox..." is returned. This can be detected by
comparing the returned pointer value to that returned for (non-existent)
language code "xx". That is, compare to:

pango_language_get_sample_string (pango_language_from_string ("xx"))

and should not be freed.

Returns:

String the sample string. This value is owned by Pango

Determines the scripts used to to write language.
If nothing is known about the language tag language,
or if language is NULL, then NULL is returned.
The list of scripts returned starts with the script that the
language uses most and continues to the one it uses least.
The value num_script points at will be set to the number
of scripts in the returned array (or zero if NULL is returned).
Most languages use only one script for writing, but there are
some that use two (Latin and Cyrillic for example), and a few
use three (Japanese for example). Applications should not make
any assumptions on the maximum number of scripts returned
though, except that it is positive if the return value is not
NULL, and it is a small number.
The pango_language_includes_script() function uses this function
internally.
number of entries in the array stored in num_scripts, or
NULL if Pango does not have any information about this
particular language tag (also the case if language is NULL).
The returned array is owned by Pango and should not be modified
or freed.

Parameters:

gint32 num_scripts Required (not null)

location to return number of scripts, or NULL

Returns:

Pango.Script An array of PangoScript values, with the

Determines if script is one of the scripts used to
write language. The returned value is conservative;
if nothing is known about the language tag language,
TRUE will be returned, since, as far as Pango knows,
This routine is used in Pango's itemization process when
determining if a supplied language tag is relevant to
a particular section of text. It probably is not useful for
applications in most circumstances.
This function uses pango_language_get_scripts() internally.
to write language or if nothing is known about language
(including the case that language is NULL),
FALSE otherwise.

Parameters:

Pango.Script script Required (not null)

a PangoScript

Returns:

gboolean TRUE if script is one of the scripts used

Checks if a language tag matches one of the elements in a list of
language ranges. A language tag is considered to match a range
in the list if the range is '*', the range is exactly the tag,
or the range is a prefix of the tag, and the character after it
in the tag is '-'.

Parameters:

String range_list Required (not null)

a list of language ranges, separated by ';', ':', ',', or space characters. Each element must either be '*', or a RFC 3066 language range canonicalized as by pango_language_from_string()

Returns:

gboolean TRUE if a match was found.

Gets the RFC-3066 format string representing the given language tag.
Pango and should not be freed.

Returns:

String a string representing the language tag. This is owned by
