Perl::Gtk2 on Linux --- How to Find the Default Font Being Used?
Hello All,

Wasn't sure if this was the correct thread to post this under but figured it has to do with Perl and Gtk2 so why not...

Anyway.. How can I find out what the Default font being used is inside a
Code:
Gtk2::Widget

. In this case I'm trying to figure out the
font being used inside a
Code:
Gtk2::TextView

widget. I have NOT set any Font-type options/attributes or anything like that, so I'm assuming its whatever the default one would be...?

Is there anyway I can figure this out somehow? Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!


Edit:
I just had an idea to try and figure this out... So I created a "
Code:
Gtk2::FontButton

" which is just an easier way to get a
Code:
Gtk2::FontSelectionDialog

to open. And when I add this to the window and then click on the button, the default font that's showing in that is "Sans 12pt"... So I'm thinking that is probably it...

If I add
Code:
face => 'Sans'

to one of my TextTags, it doesn't look like the Font is changing, which I guess could mean 2 things.

One: it is the default font which is why it doesn't look like it's changing because it was already that font
Two: it doesn't exist and that's why the Font isn't changing...


Thanks in Advance,
Matt
