## Implemented Interfaces

GtkFontSelectionDialog implements AtkImplementorIface and GtkBuildable.

## Includes

    #include <gtk/gtk.h>

## 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()`.

In GTK+ 3.2, GtkFontSelectionDialog has been deprecated in favor of GtkFontChooserDialog.

### 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”.

## Functions

### gtk_font_selection_dialog_new ()

    GtkWidget *
    gtk_font_selection_dialog_new (const gchar *title);

`gtk_font_selection_dialog_new` has been deprecated since version 3.2 and should not be used in newly-written code.

Use GtkFontChooserDialog

Creates a new GtkFontSelectionDialog.

#### Parameters

title | the title of the dialog window |

#### Returns

a new GtkFontSelectionDialog

### gtk_font_selection_dialog_get_font_name ()

    gchar *
    gtk_font_selection_dialog_get_font_name
                                   (GtkFontSelectionDialog *fsd);

`gtk_font_selection_dialog_get_font_name` has been deprecated since version 3.2 and should not be used in newly-written code.

Use GtkFontChooserDialog

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.

#### Parameters

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);

`gtk_font_selection_dialog_set_font_name` has been deprecated since version 3.2 and should not be used in newly-written code.

Use GtkFontChooserDialog

Sets the currently selected font.

#### Parameters

fsd | a GtkFontSelectionDialog |
fontname | a font name like “Helvetica 12” or “Times Bold 18” |

#### Returns

`TRUE` if the font selected in `fsd` is now the `fontname` specified, `FALSE` otherwise.

### gtk_font_selection_dialog_get_preview_text ()

    const gchar *
    gtk_font_selection_dialog_get_preview_text
