## Implemented Interfaces

GtkFontSelectionDialog implements AtkImplementorIface and GtkBuildable.

## Description

The GtkFontSelectionDialog widget is a dialog box for selecting a font.

To set the font which is initially selected, use `gtk_font_selection_dialog_set_font_name()`.

To get the selected font use `gtk_font_selection_dialog_get_font_name()`.

To change the text which is shown in the preview area, use `gtk_font_selection_dialog_set_preview_text()`.

### GtkFontSelectionDialog as GtkBuildable

The GtkFontSelectionDialog implementation of the GtkBuildable interface exposes the embedded GtkFontSelection as internal child with the name "font_selection". It also exposes the buttons with the names "ok_button", "cancel_button" and "apply_button".

## Details

### GtkFontSelectionDialog

    typedef struct {
      GtkWidget *ok_button;
      GtkWidget *apply_button;
      GtkWidget *cancel_button;
    } GtkFontSelectionDialog;

GtkWidget *`ok_button`; | The OK button of the dialog
GtkWidget *`apply_button`; | The Apply button of the dialog. This button is hidden by default but you can show/hide it
GtkWidget *`cancel_button`; | The Cancel button of the dialog

### gtk_font_selection_dialog_new ()

    GtkWidget*          gtk_font_selection_dialog_new       (const gchar *title);

Creates a new GtkFontSelectionDialog.

`title` : | the title of the dialog box.
Returns : | a new GtkFontSelectionDialog.

### gtk_font_selection_dialog_get_font ()

    GdkFont*            gtk_font_selection_dialog_get_font  (GtkFontSelectionDialog *fsd);

### Warning

`gtk_font_selection_dialog_get_font` is deprecated and should not be used in newly-written code.

Gets the currently-selected font.

`fsd` : | a GtkFontSelectionDialog.
Returns : | the currently-selected font, or `NULL` if no font is selected.

### gtk_font_selection_dialog_get_font_name ()

    gchar*              gtk_font_selection_dialog_get_font_name
                                                            (GtkFontSelectionDialog *fsd);

Gets the currently-selected font name. Note that this can be a different string than what you set with `gtk_font_selection_dialog_set_font_name()`, as the font selection 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.

`fsd` : | a GtkFontSelectionDialog
Returns : | A string with the name of the current font, or NULL if no font is selected. You must free this string with `g_free()`.

### gtk_font_selection_dialog_set_font_name ()

    gboolean            gtk_font_selection_dialog_set_font_name
                                                            (GtkFontSelectionDialog *fsd,
                                                             const gchar *fontname);

Sets the currently-selected font.

`fsd` : | a GtkFontSelectionDialog.
`fontname` : | a fontname.
Returns : | `TRUE` if the font was found.

### gtk_font_selection_dialog_get_preview_text ()

    const gchar*        gtk_font_selection_dialog_get_preview_text
                                                            (GtkFontSelectionDialog *fsd);

Gets the text displayed in the preview area.

`fsd` : | a GtkFontSelectionDialog.
Returns : | the text displayed in the preview area. This string is owned by the widget and should not be modified or freed.

### gtk_font_selection_dialog_set_preview_text ()

    void                gtk_font_selection_dialog_set_preview_text
                                                            (GtkFontSelectionDialog *fsd,
                                                             const gchar *text);

Sets the text displayed in the preview area.

`fsd` : | a GtkFontSelectionDialog.
`text` : | the text to display in the preview area.
