Implemented Interfaces

GtkFontSelectionDialog implements AtkImplementorIface and GtkBuildable.

Includes

#include <gtk/gtk.h>

Description

The GtkFontSelectionDialog widget is a dialog box for selecting a font.

To set the font which is initially selected, use gtk_font_selection_dialog_set_font_name().

To get the selected font use gtk_font_selection_dialog_get_font_name().

To change the text which is shown in the preview area, use gtk_font_selection_dialog_set_preview_text().

GtkFontSelectionDialog as GtkBuildable

The GtkFontSelectionDialog implementation of the GtkBuildable interface exposes the embedded GtkFontSelection as internal child with the name "font_selection". It also exposes the buttons with the names "ok_button", "cancel_button" and "apply_button".

Functions

gtk_font_selection_dialog_new ()

GtkWidget *
gtk_font_selection_dialog_new (const gchar *title);

Creates a new GtkFontSelectionDialog.

Parameters

title

the title of the dialog window

 

Returns

a new GtkFontSelectionDialog


gtk_font_selection_dialog_get_font ()

GdkFont *
gtk_font_selection_dialog_get_font (GtkFontSelectionDialog *fsd);

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

Use gtk_font_selection_dialog_get_font_name() instead.

Gets the currently-selected font.

Parameters

Returns

the GdkFont from the GtkFontSelection for the currently selected font in the dialog, or NULL if no font is selected


gtk_font_selection_dialog_get_font_name ()

gchar *
gtk_font_selection_dialog_get_font_name
                               (GtkFontSelectionDialog *fsd);

Gets the currently-selected font name.

Note that this can be a different string than what you set with gtk_font_selection_dialog_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

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_dialog_set_font_name ()

gboolean
gtk_font_selection_dialog_set_font_name
                               (GtkFontSelectionDialog *fsd,
                                const gchar *fontname);

gtk_font_selection_dialog_set_font_name is deprecated and should not be used in newly-written code.

Sets the currently selected font.

Parameters

fsd

a GtkFontSelectionDialog

 

fontname

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

 

Returns

TRUE if the font selected in fsd is now the fontname specified, FALSE otherwise.
