Problem
You want to change the font and font size of GtkLabel as shown below:
Solution
$label->modify_font(new PangoFontDescription('Eras Demi ITC 48'));
Sample Code
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 | <?php $window = new GtkWindow(); $window->set_size_request(480, 240); $window->modify_bg(Gtk::STATE_NORMAL, GdkColor::parse("#FFFF00")); $window->connect_simple('destroy', array('Gtk','main_quit')); $label = new GtkLabel("hello world!"); $label->modify_font(new PangoFontDescription('Eras Demi ITC 48')); // set font style $window->add($label); $window->show_all(); Gtk::main(); ?> |
Output
As shown above.Explanation
- The line with
modify_font()
sets the font of the label to "Eras Demi ITC" and font size to 48. - You can just change the font size, without specifying the font name, e.g.
modify_font(new PangoFontDescription('48'))
- I'm using php-gtk2 on winXP. For windows, you can get the names of the fonts in the fonts directory (usually it's c:\windows\fonts). E.g. you can use 'Times New Roman', 'Times New Roman Italic', 'Tahoma', 'Trebuchet MS Bold', etc. Just use the font names as it appears in that folder.
- I think it should be quite similar for Linux and Mac. If you're on this platform, maybe you could let me know if it works.
