Description Behdad Esfahbod 2007-12-11 18:02:02 UTC 
The hexbox code is quite complex because of hinting issues, etc.  It would be a useful feature to have shape-like attributes that will render a box with text inside.  Can be used to show tabs, newlines, ... more usefully for example.  For newlines maybe we should do that by default (bug 501482).

Anyway, something like:

  pango_attribute_box_new (const char *text);

text should be ASCII, and rows/cols are automatically determined.

(and Behnam can finally get his "ZWNJ" box)
