Structure holding font information.
None.
A GdkFont is a data structure containing basic information about a font, in terms of its type, ascent and descent. There is no constructor, as the fonts available are provided by the system. The GdkFont structure simply allows a new font to be loaded and queried.
To load a font, use gdk::font_load() . To load a fontset - a range of different fonts - use gdk::fontset_load() . Either function will return a single GdkFont.
Under win32 currently, all fonts are of the type GDK_FONT_FONTSET, regardless of the loading method.
extents() Returns an array of sizing information. measure() The drawn width of a text-string, measured in pixels. height() Returns the line height, measured in pixels. width() The logical width of a text string, measured in pixels.
type: Font or fontset type. ascent: Baseline to top of logical area. descent: Baseline to bottom of logical area.
