## Description

The functions and macros in this section are for use with the old X font backend which used server-side bitmap fonts. This font backend is no longer supported, and attempts to use it will produce unpredictable results. Use the Xft or Cairo backend instead.

## Details

### PANGO_RENDER_TYPE_X

    #define PANGO_RENDER_TYPE_X "PangoRenderX"

### Warning

`PANGO_RENDER_TYPE_X` is deprecated and should not be used in newly-written code.

### Warning

`pango_x_load_font` is deprecated and should not be used in newly-written code.

### Warning

`pango_x_get_unknown_glyph` is deprecated and should not be used in newly-written code.

Returns the index of a glyph suitable for drawing unknown characters; you should generally use `PANGO_GET_UNKNOWN_GLYPH()` instead, since that may return a glyph that provides a better representation of a particular char.
