Hi ! I am trying to use gtk.FontSelection. I can read the choice from the dialog box all right with get_font_name, but set_font_name just does not set anything and return false. I am not sure if it is a pygtk or gtk bug. Any idea would be appreciated to fix it: Python 2.2.2 (#1, Feb 24 2003, 19:13:11) [GCC 3.2.2 20030222 (Red Hat Linux 3.2.2-4)] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import gtk >>> my_font=gtk.FontSelection() >>> my_font.get_font_name() 'Sans 10' >>> my_font.set_font_name('Sans 12') 0 >>> my_font.get_font_name() 'Sans 10' I am using this on RedHaT 9.0 with gtk2-2.2.1-4 pygtk2-1.99.14-4 python-2.2.2-26 Thanks Jena-Baptiste -- ----------------------------- Jean-Baptiste.Cazier@decode.is Department of Statistics deCODE genetics Sturlugata,8 570 2993 101 Reykjavík
