Structures representing abstract fonts

<!-- ##### SECTION Long_Description ##### -->
<para>
Pango supports a flexible architecture where a
particular rendering architecture can supply an
implementation of fonts. The #PangoFont structure
represents an abstract rendering-system-indepent font.
Pango provides routines to list available fonts, and
to load a font of a given description.
</para>

<!-- ##### SECTION See_Also ##### -->
<para>

</para>

<!-- ##### STRUCT PangoFontDescription ##### -->
<para>
The #PangoFontDescription structure represents the description
of an ideal font. These structures are used both to list
what fonts are available on the system and also for specifying
the characteristics of a font to load.

the nested #PangoFont with a pointer to
a appropriate #PangoFontClass, then call
pango_font_init() on the structure.
