Includes

Description

Functions

gtk_font_selection_new ()

GtkWidget *
gtk_font_selection_new (void);

Creates a new GtkFontSelection.

Returns

a n ew GtkFontSelection


gtk_font_selection_get_font ()

GdkFont *
gtk_font_selection_get_font (GtkFontSelection *fontsel);

gtk_font_selection_get_font has been deprecated since version 2.0 and should not be used in newly-written code.

Use gtk_font_selection_get_font_name() instead.

Gets the currently-selected font.

Parameters

fontsel

a GtkFontSelection

 

Returns

A GdkFont.


gtk_font_selection_get_font_name ()

gchar *
gtk_font_selection_get_font_name (GtkFontSelection *fontsel);

Gets the currently-selected font name.

Note that this can be a different string than what you set with gtk_font_selection_set_font_name(), as the font selection widget may normalize font names and thus return a string with a different structure. For example, "Helvetica Italic Bold 12" could be normalized to "Helvetica Bold Italic 12". Use pango_font_description_equal() if you want to compare two font descriptions.

Parameters

fontsel

a GtkFontSelection

 

Returns

A string with the name of the current font, or NULL if no font is selected. You must free this string with g_free().


gtk_font_selection_set_font_name ()

gboolean
gtk_font_selection_set_font_name (GtkFontSelection *fontsel,
                                  const gchar *fontname);

Sets the currently-selected font.

Note that the fontsel needs to know the screen in which it will appear for this to work; this can be guaranteed by simply making sure that the fontsel is inserted in a toplevel window before you call this function.

Parameters

fontsel

a GtkFontSelection

 

fontname

a font name like "Helvetica 12" or "Times Bold 18"

 

Returns

TRUE if the font could be set successfully; FALSE if no such font exists or if the fontsel doesn't belong to a particular screen yet.


gtk_font_selection_get_preview_text ()

const gchar *
gtk_font_selection_get_preview_text (GtkFontSelection *fontsel);

Gets the text displayed in the preview area.

Parameters

fontsel

a GtkFontSelection

 

Returns

the text displayed in the preview area. This string is owned by the widget and should not be modified or freed


gtk_font_selection_set_preview_text ()

void
gtk_font_selection_set_preview_text (GtkFontSelection *fontsel,
                                     const gchar *text);

Sets the text displayed in the preview area. The text is used to show how the selected font looks.
