+ * #PangoFcFont is a base class for font implementation using the
+ * Fontconfig and FreeType libraries. It is used in the
+ * <link linkend="pango-Xft-Fonts-and-Rendering">Xft</link> and
+ * <link linkend="pango-FreeType-Fonts-and-Rendering">FreeType</link>
+ * backends shipped with Pango, but can also be used when creating
+ * new backends. Any backend deriving from this base class will
+ * take advantage of the wide range of shapers implemented using
+ * FreeType that come with Pango.
