gtk_font_selection_new ()

GtkWidget *
gtk_font_selection_new (void);

Creates a new GtkFontSelection.

gtk_font_selection_get_font ()

GdkFont *
gtk_font_selection_get_font (GtkFontSelection *fontsel);

Gets the currently-selected font.

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.

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.

gtk_font_selection_get_preview_text ()

const gchar *
gtk_font_selection_get_preview_text (GtkFontSelection *fontsel);

Gets the text displayed in the preview area.

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.

gtk_font_selection_get_face ()

PangoFontFace *
gtk_font_selection_get_face (GtkFontSelection *fontsel);

Gets the PangoFontFace representing the selected font group details (i.e. family, slant, weight, width, etc).

Since 2.14

gtk_font_selection_get_face_list ()

GtkWidget *
gtk_font_selection_get_face_list (GtkFontSelection *fontsel);

This returns the GtkTreeView which lists all styles available for the selected font. For example, 'Regular', 'Bold', etc.

Since 2.14

gtk_font_selection_get_family ()

PangoFontFamily *
gtk_font_selection_get_family (GtkFontSelection *fontsel);

gtk_font_selection_get_size (GtkFontSelection *fontsel);

The selected font size.

Since 2.14

gtk_font_selection_get_family_list ()

GtkWidget *
gtk_font_selection_get_family_list (GtkFontSelection *fontsel);

This returns the GtkTreeView that lists font families, for example, 'Sans', 'Serif', etc.

gtk_font_selection_get_preview_entry (GtkFontSelection *fontsel);

This returns the GtkEntry used to display the font as a preview.

gtk_font_selection_get_size_entry ()

GtkWidget *
gtk_font_selection_get_size_entry (GtkFontSelection *fontsel);

This returns the GtkEntry used to allow the user to edit the font number manually instead of selecting it from the list of font sizes.

Since 2.14

gtk_font_selection_get_size_list ()

GtkWidget *
gtk_font_selection_get_size_list (GtkFontSelection *fontsel);

This returns the GtkTreeeView used to list font sizes.
