# PangoSCALE

#### Declaration

    #define PANGO_SCALE 1024

#### Description

The scale between dimensions used for Pango distances and device units.

The definition of device units is dependent on the output device; it will typically be pixels for a screen, and points for a printer. `PANGO_SCALE` is currently 1024, but this may be changed in the future.

When setting font sizes, device units are always considered to be points (as in “12 point font”), rather than pixels.
