    <title>Description</title>

    <para>The <link
linkend="class-gtkfontselection"><classname>gtk.FontSelection</classname></link> 
widget lists the available fonts, styles and sizes, allowing the user to
select a font. It is used in the <link
linkend="class-gtkfontselectiondialog"><classname>gtk.FontSelectionDialog</classname></link> 
widget to provide a dialog box for selecting fonts. The <link
linkend="method-gtkfontselection--set-font-name"><methodname>set_font_name</methodname>()</link> 
method sets the initial font selection. The current font selection is
retrieved using the <link
linkend="method-gtkfontselection--get-font-name"><methodname>get_font_name</methodname>()</link> 
method.</para>

    <para>The fontselection has a preview area that contains a <link
linkend="class-gtkentry"><classname>gtk.Entry</classname></link> that
displays text using the currently selected font. The preview text can be
retrieved with the <link
linkend="method-gtkfontselection--get-preview-text"><methodname>get_preview_text</methodname>()</link> 
method and set with the <link
linkend="method-gtkfontselection--set-preview-text"><methodname>set_preview_text</methodname>()</link> 
method.</para>

    <para>Filters can be used to limit the font selections. There are 2
filters in the <link
linkend="class-gtkfontselection"><classname>gtk.FontSelection</classname></link> 
- a base filter and a user filter. The base filter cannot be changed by the
user, so this can be used when the user must choose from the restricted set
of fonts (e.g. for a terminal-type application you may want to force the
user to select a fixed-width font). The user filter can be changed or reset
by the user, by using the <guibutton>Reset Filter</guibutton> button or
changing the options on the <guilabel>Filter</guilabel> page of the
widget.</para>
