You don't need to create a string representation of the font description and fiddle with it since you can modify the font description using the provided Pango API: http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/pango/pango-Fonts.html Basically you call pango_font_description_set_family (font_desc, "monospace"); Note that "monospace" is the preferred alias to use for a font with fixed glyph widths. Which font is choosen depends on the user's font configuration then. Any correct fontconfig installation is supposed to provide at least one font for each of the "sans" "serif" and "monospace" aliases.

Hi Egon, > I have a widget (actually a GtkLabel, but it may be changed later) for > which I want use fixed-width font. > > Is there a simple way to achieve this? yes it is. You can modify the font of any widget like this: PangoFontDescription *font_desc = pango_font_description_from_string( "Fixed 12"); gtk_widget_modify_font(pGTKLabel, font_desc); pango_font_description_free(font_desc); This will completely override the old font attributes. If you only want to change the font from "Helvetica" or whatever it is to "Fixed" and keep the other attributes (style and font size) but you don't already know them, this is a bit more complicated. I never tried it, but I think something like this could work: First you must get the current PangoFontDescription from the widget's style. Then get the description string for it ( char* pango_font_description_to_string(const PangoFontDescription *desc); ) and exchange the font name with "Fixed". When you got that you can create a new PangoFontDescription and modify the widget as explained above.

Setting fixed-width font
Hi, I have a widget (actually a GtkLabel, but it may be changed later) for which I want use fixed-width font. Is there a simple way to achieve this? (I've looked in the FAQ and mail-archive. But it only described a solution using a resource file, which I don't want to use in this case.)
