Detailed Description

A Pango::FontFamily is used to represent a family of related font faces.

The faces in a family share a common design, but differ in slant, weight, width and other aspects.


Constructor & Destructor Documentation

virtual Pango::FontFamily::~FontFamily (  ) [virtual]

Member Function Documentation

Glib::ustring Pango::FontFamily::get_name (  ) const

Gets the name of the family.

The name is unique among all fonts for the font backend and can be used in a Pango::FontDescription to specify that a face from this family is desired.

Returns:
The name of the family. This string is owned by the family object and must not be modified or freed.
PangoFontFamily* Pango::FontFamily::gobj (  ) [inline]

Provides access to the underlying C GObject.

Reimplemented from Glib::ObjectBase.

const PangoFontFamily* Pango::FontFamily::gobj (  ) const [inline]

Provides access to the underlying C GObject.

Reimplemented from Glib::ObjectBase.

PangoFontFamily* Pango::FontFamily::gobj_copy (  )

Provides access to the underlying C instance. The caller is responsible for unrefing it. Use when directly setting fields in structs.

bool Pango::FontFamily::is_monospace (  ) const

A monospace font is a font designed for text display where the the characters form a regular grid.

For Western languages this would mean that the advance width of all characters are the same, but this categorization also includes Asian fonts which include double-width characters: characters that occupy two grid cells. Glib::unichar_iswide() returns a result that indicates whether a character is typically double-width in a monospace font.

The best way to find out the grid-cell size is to call Pango::FontMetrics::get_approximate_digit_width(), since the results of Pango::FontMetrics::get_approximate_char_width() may be affected by double-width characters.

Since pangomm 1.4:
Returns:
true if the family is monospace.
Glib::ArrayHandle< Glib::RefPtr<FontFace> > Pango::FontFamily::list_faces (  ) const

Lists the different font faces that make up family.

The faces in a family share a common design, but differ in slant, weight, width and other aspects.

Returns:
an array of pointers to Pango::FontFace objects.

Glib::RefPtr< Pango::FontFamily > wrap ( PangoFontFamily *  object,
bool  take_copy = false 
) [related]

A Glib::wrap() method for this object.

Parameters:
objectThe C instance.
take_copyFalse if the result should take ownership of the C instance. True if it should take a new copy or ref.
Returns:
A C++ instance that wraps this C instance.
