GtkStyle* style = gtk_widget_get_style(widget); PangoFontDescription* font = style->font; or something like that. i use gtkmm (C++) note that styles are not necessarily set up until after a widget has been realized, because they can be affected by the screen the widget is displayed on. --p _______________________________________________ gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
