Detailed Description

An interface implemented by widgets displaying fonts.

FontChooser widgets list the available fonts, styles and sizes, allowing the user to select a font.

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

To get the selected font use get_font_name().

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

Since gtkmm 3.2:

Member Typedef Documentation

◆ SlotFontFilter

typedef sigc::slot<bool, const Glib::RefPtr<const Pango::FontFamily>&, const Glib::RefPtr<const Pango::FontFace>&> Gtk::FontChooser::SlotFontFilter

Font filter callback.

For instance,

bool on_font_fitler(const Glib::RefPtr<const Pango::FontFamily>& font_family, const Glib::RefPtr<const Pango::FontFace>& font_face);

Parameters

font_family	A Pango FontFamily.
font_face	A Font Face belonging to the font_family.

Returns: true if the font should be displayed.

This is used for deciding what fonts should be shown in a FontChooser. See set_filter_func().

Since gtkmm 3.4:

static void Gtk::FontChooser::add_interface ( GType gtype_implementer )

static

◆ get_font()

Glib::ustring Gtk::FontChooser::get_font ( ) const

Gets the currently-selected font name.

Note that this can be a different string than what you set with 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 gtkmm 3.2:

Returns: A string with the name of the current font, or nullptr if no font is selected.

◆ get_font_desc()

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