One would think changing the default font of a newly-created GtkTextView would be a piece of cake, but I simply can't find any way of doing that. There doesn't seem to be any function which would do that directly in either GtkTextView nor in any base classes. My best guess was this: pango_font_description_set_family(textView->style->font_desc, "Courier"); However, it doesn't seem to work. How should it be done? (Applying tags to the whole textbuffer is not a good solution because they don't stay applied to the whole text when the text is edited from the beginning or the end. Besides, it feels needless when there should simply be a way of specifying a default font directly.) Btw, where do I get a list of font family names? I can't find that either (that "Courier" was a pure guess!). - Warp _______________________________________________ gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
