PangoCairoFontMapget_default

Gets a default PangoCairoFontMap to use with Cairo.

Note that the type of the returned object will depend on the particular font backend Cairo was compiled to use; you generally should only use the PangoFontMap and PangoCairoFontMap interfaces on the returned object.

The default Cairo fontmap can be changed by using pango_cairo_font_map_set_default(). This can be used to change the Cairo font backend that the default fontmap uses for example.

Note that since Pango 1.32.6, the default fontmap is per-thread. Each thread gets its own default fontmap. In this way, PangoCairo can be used safely from multiple threads.
