Logical extents are usually what you want for positioning things. Note
that both extents may have non-zero x and y. You may want to use those
to offset where you render the layout. Not doing that is a very typical
bug that shows up as right-to-left layouts not being correctly positioned
in a layout with a set width.
The extents are given in layout coordinates and in Pango units; layout
coordinates begin at the top left corner of the layout.
Computes the logical and ink extents of layout.
