Font in TextView

[Baloon man]

Hello

  I am new to pygtk programming and found it very intuitive !!!  I am trying to find a way to set a local language font ( lohit kannada - ಕನ್ನಡ  ) for text view. How do I do this.

Thanks

Hello,
If I understand the question correctly, you should take a look at the
modify_font() method[1]. For example :
your_text_view.modify_font('lohit normal 12')

Thanks Frederic

  I would like to get some idea about how to get the "font description" for a specific font ( default font in the system and also a third party font installed at later point. )

  Another point is in my Fedora 11 system. I added one font in $HOME/.fonts directory. I can use those fonts to read the content written in that font in browser. But I am not seing them in xlsfonts command output. Is there any way I can get the font description of those fonts and use them for  text view. Or is there any method by which I can specify the font name ( phisical file name ) and give it as an input to textview .

Thanks
Salil
