                           const gchar *font_name);

Loads a font for use on display .

The font may be newly loaded or looked up the font in a cache. You should make no assumptions about the initial reference count.

Since: 2.2

gdk_font_from_description ()

GdkFont *
gdk_font_from_description (PangoFontDescription *font_desc);

Load a GdkFont based on a Pango font description. This font will only be an approximation of the Pango font, and internationalization will not be handled correctly. This function should only be used for legacy code that cannot be easily converted to use Pango. Using Pango directly will produce better results.

Loads a GdkFont based on a Pango font description for use on display . This font will only be an approximation of the Pango font, and internationalization will not be handled correctly. This function should only be used for legacy code that cannot be easily converted to use Pango. Using Pango directly will produce better results.

Since: 2.2
