gtk_font_chooser_get_font_family ()

PangoFontFamily *
gtk_font_chooser_get_font_family (GtkFontChooser *fontchooser);

Gets the PangoFontFamily representing the selected font family. Font families are a collection of font faces.

If the selected font is not installed, returns NULL.

Since: 3.2

gtk_font_chooser_get_font_face ()

PangoFontFace *
gtk_font_chooser_get_font_face (GtkFontChooser *fontchooser);

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

If the selected font is not installed, returns NULL.

Since: 3.2

gtk_font_chooser_get_font_size ()

gint
gtk_font_chooser_get_font_size (GtkFontChooser *fontchooser);

The selected font size.

Since: 3.2

gtk_font_chooser_get_font ()

gchar *
gtk_font_chooser_get_font (GtkFontChooser *fontchooser);

Gets the currently-selected font name.

Note that this can be a different string than what you set with gtk_font_chooser_set_font(), as the font chooser 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.

Since: 3.2

gtk_font_chooser_set_font ()

void
gtk_font_chooser_set_font (GtkFontChooser *fontchooser,
                           const gchar *fontname);

Sets the currently-selected font.

Since: 3.2

gtk_font_chooser_get_font_desc ()

PangoFontDescription *
gtk_font_chooser_get_font_desc (GtkFontChooser *fontchooser);

Gets the currently-selected font.

Note that this can be a different string than what you set with gtk_font_chooser_set_font(), as the font chooser 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.

Since: 3.2

gtk_font_chooser_set_font_desc ()

void
gtk_font_chooser_set_font_desc (GtkFontChooser *fontchooser,
                                const PangoFontDescription *font_desc);

Sets the currently-selected font from font_desc .

gtk_font_chooser_set_preview_text ()

void
gtk_font_chooser_set_preview_text (GtkFontChooser *fontchooser,
                                   const gchar *text);

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

gtk_font_chooser_get_show_preview_entry ()

gboolean
gtk_font_chooser_get_show_preview_entry
                               (GtkFontChooser *fontchooser);

Returns whether the preview entry is shown or not.

Since: 3.2

gtk_font_chooser_set_show_preview_entry ()

void
gtk_font_chooser_set_show_preview_entry
                               (GtkFontChooser *fontchooser,
                                gboolean show_preview_entry);

Shows or hides the editable preview entry.

GtkFontFilterFunc ()

gboolean
(*GtkFontFilterFunc) (const PangoFontFamily *family,
                      const PangoFontFace *face,
                      gpointer data);

The type of function that is used for deciding what fonts get shown in a GtkFontChooser. See gtk_font_chooser_set_filter_func().

gtk_font_chooser_set_filter_func ()

void
gtk_font_chooser_set_filter_func (GtkFontChooser *fontchooser,
                                  GtkFontFilterFunc filter,
                                  gpointer user_data,
                                  GDestroyNotify destroy);

gtk_font_chooser_set_font_map ()

void
gtk_font_chooser_set_font_map (GtkFontChooser *fontchooser,
                               PangoFontMap *fontmap);

Sets a custom font map to use for this font chooser widget. A custom font map can be used to present application-specific fonts instead of or in addition to the normal system fonts.

FcConfig *config;

pango_fc_font_map_set_config (PANGO_FC_FONT_MAP (fontmap), config);

gtk_font_chooser_set_font_map (font_chooser, fontmap);

Note that other GTK+ widgets will only be able to use the application-specific font if it is present in the font map they use:
