Includes

#include <ctk/ctk.h>

Description

The CtkFontSelection widget lists the available fonts, styles and sizes, allowing the user to select a font. It is used in the CtkFontSelectionDialog widget to provide a dialog box for selecting fonts.

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

To get the selected font use ctk_font_selection_get_font_name().

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

In CTK+ 3.2, CtkFontSelection has been deprecated in favor of CtkFontChooser.

Functions

ctk_font_selection_new ()

CtkWidget *
ctk_font_selection_new (void);

ctk_font_selection_new has been deprecated since version 3.2 and should not be used in newly-written code.

Use CtkFontChooserWidget instead

Creates a new CtkFontSelection.

Returns

a new CtkFontSelection


ctk_font_selection_get_font_name ()

gchar *
ctk_font_selection_get_font_name (CtkFontSelection *fontsel);

ctk_font_selection_get_font_name has been deprecated since version 3.2 and should not be used in newly-written code.

Use CtkFontChooser

Gets the currently-selected font name.

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

 

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().


ctk_font_selection_set_font_name ()

ctk_font_selection_set_font_name has been deprecated since version 3.2 and should not be used in newly-written code.

Use CtkFontChooser
