Description Steve Splonskowski 2008-02-21 14:17:29 UTC 
The documentation for pangomm binding for Attribute::set_start_index and Attribute::set_end_index do not call out that the parameter values should be a byte offset into the UTF-8 string (instead of a logical character index).

This is called out in the main pango docs. Moving this detail to the pangomm docs would have been very useful to me :)
Comment 1 Murray Cumming 2008-02-22 12:31:57 UTC 
Could you give me a URL for the relevant text in the pango documentation, ideally on library.gnome.org, please?
Comment 2 Behdad Esfahbod 2008-02-22 14:02:14 UTC 
Under http://library.gnome.org/devel/pango/stable/pango-Text-Attributes.html#PangoAttribute

Members start_index and end_index are documented with "(in bytes)".

Fixed in svn trunk. Thanks.

	* pango/src/attributes.hg: _MEMBER_SET for end_index and start_index:
	Mentin that the indices are in bytes, as now mentioned in the C 
	documentation.
