Access to individual glyphs in Pango.GlyphString about lgi HOT 6 CLOSED

Confirmed. GI in general is definitely not good at introspecting anything but simplest struct fields, and arrays are definitely not supported. However, lgi contains infrastructure to create override to access this case, so I'll add it.

It was easier than anticipated. Please test it and reopen if you find any problems.
Many thanks for concise report including the sample! I took your sample and added it into lgi testsuite, I hope that you have no problem with it.

Thank you, that works and I'm very happy!

...although, cr:show_glyph_string(analysis.font, pgs) doesn't seem to display anything, even though the equivalent C code does.

Bummer. However, I tried just calling cr:show_glyph_string(analysis.font, pgs) and verified in debugger that all arguments passed to pango_cairo_show_glyphs_string() C implementation look correct to me and no error is signalized. I somehow suspect that there is something else going wrong with the sample, but sorry, I'm not going to delve into pango/cairo stuff. If you will be able to come up with some small selfcontained example, I'll gladly try to debug it.

Ignore me. I'm an idiot. pal:insert(pango.Attribute.size_new(12)) prints the text at a size of 12 1/1024ths of a point, so I couldn't really see it.
