Try: text = gtk_text_view_new(); font_desc = pango_font_description_from_string( "Mono" ); gtk_widget_modify_font( text, font_desc ); pango_font_description_free( font_desc ); There's a longer example on the textwidget overview: http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gtk/TextWidget.html > Btw, where do I get a list of font family names? I can't find that either > (that "Courier" was a pure guess!). fc-list shows all the fonts that pango knows about. In addition, there are the aliases 'Sans', 'Serif' and 'Mono' which give you the 'best' fonts in each category.
