GdkFont

     Structure holding font information.

Object Hierarchy

   GdkFont

Description

     A GdkFont is a data structure containing basic information about a
     font, in terms of its type, ascent and descent. There is no
     constructor, as the fonts available are provided by the system. The
     GdkFont structure simply allows a new font to be loaded and
     queried.

     To load a font, use gdk::font_load() . To load a fontset - a range
     of different fonts - use gdk::fontset_load() . Either function will
     return a single GdkFont.

   Under win32 currently, all fonts are of the type GDK_FONT_FONTSET,
   regardless of the loading method.
