The functionality you are describing is present in pretty much every GTK+3-based text editor, so look at the source of any one of them. Gedit (as of 3.18.3 as packaged in Ubuntu 16.04) uses gtk_widget_override_font, and so does Mousepad (as of 0.4.0), and what’s good for the stock text editors of GNOME and Xfce, is probably good for you, too. _______________________________________________ gtk-app-devel-list mailing list gtk-app-devel-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-app-devel-list
