  * Creating a #PangoLayout object is the first step in rendering text,

- * Creates a #PangoContext for @display.

- * The context must be freed when you’re finished with it.
- *
- * When using GTK+, normally you should use gtk_widget_get_pango_context()
- * instead of this function, to get the appropriate context for
- * the widget you intend to render text onto.

- * The newly created context will have the default font options
- * (see #cairo_font_options_t) for the display; if these options
- * change it will not be updated. Using gtk_widget_get_pango_context()
- * is more convenient if you want to keep a context around and track
