 * File:        stringrenderer.h
 * Description: Class for rendering UTF-8 text to an image, and retrieving
 *              bounding boxes around each grapheme cluster.
 *
 *              Instances are created using a font description string
 *              (eg. "Arial Italic 12"; see pango_font_info.h for the format)
 *              and the page dimensions. Other renderer properties such as
 *              spacing, ligaturization, as well a preprocessing behavior such
 *              as removal of unrenderable words and a special n-gram mode may
 *              be set using respective set_* methods.
