New file.
2000-11-19 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi> * README.win32: New file. * pango/fonts.c (pango_font_description_to_filename): New function. As pango_font_description_to_string, but with result that is better suitable as a filename: No spaces or other strange characters, all in lowercase. (pango_font_describe): Implement this function, call the corresponding method. * pango/pango-font.h: Declare pango_font_description_to_filename. * pango/pangowin32.c (pango_win32_font_describe) * pango/pangoft2.c (pango_ft2_font_describe): Implement these. * pango/pangoft2-fontmap.c (pango_ft2_font_entry_get_coverage) * pango/pangowin32-fontmap.c (pango_win32_font_entry_get_coverage): Implement file-based persistent caching of coverages. * pango/pangoft2-private.h (struct _PangoFT2FontEntry) * pango/pangowin32-private.h (struct _PangoWin32FontEntry): Move struct definition here from the -fontmap files. * pango/pango.def: Updates.

+There are two Pango backends written for Win32: pangowin32 and
+pangoft2. Pangowin32 uses the Win32 GDI font API. Pangoft2 uses
+FreeType2. Neither one is even close to being as useable as the X11
+backend. They are buggy and slow, and print copious amounts of
+debugging output.
