Well, besides determining the width of the GtkTextView in characters, I also need to determine its height in lines, or the number of visible lines. I've tried a solution with font metrics, but the value is wrong. The code I'm using is something like this:
PangoContext *context; PangoFontDescription *fontdesc; PangoFontMetrics *metrics; int char_height; /* Get the size of the text view */ gtk_text_view_get_visible_rect(gui->txtView, &rect); /* Get the Pango context */ context = gtk_widget_get_pango_context(GTK_WIDGET(gui->txtView)); /* Load metrics for the font */ fontdesc = pango_context_get_font_description(context); metrics = pango_context_get_metrics(context, fontdesc, NULL); /* Determine character height */ char_height = PANGO_PIXELS(pango_font_metrics_get_ascent(metrics) + pango_font_metrics_get_descent(metrics)); lines = rect.height / char_height; But the character height is returned as 29 pixels. I've counted with xmag and the real height of a line (including possibly some inter-line spacing not accounted for in that code) is something like 16 or 17 pixels. -- A verbal contract isn't worth the paper it's written on.
