Name
pfont:GetFontMap -- get font map
Synopsis
fontmap = pfont:GetFontMap()
Function
Gets the font map for which the font was created.

Note that the font maintains a *weak* reference to the font map, so if all references to font map are dropped, the font map will be finalized even if there are fonts created with the font map that are still alive. In that case this function will return a NULL object.

It is the responsibility of the user to ensure that the font map is kept alive. In most uses this is not an issue as a Pango context holds a reference to the font map.

You mustn't free the returned font map.

Inputs
none

Results
fontmap
the Pango font map
