## 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

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:

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

Gtk::FontChooser::FontChooser | ( |  | ) |
| protected

You should derive from this class to use it.

virtual Gtk::FontChooser::~FontChooser | ( |  | ) |

## Member Function Documentation

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

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 `0` if no font is selected. You must free this string with Glib::free().

Pango::FontDescription Gtk::FontChooser::get_font_desc | ( |  | ) | const

Gets the currently-selected font.

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.
