I am just trying to set the font for a gtk.Entry.  I tried:

import gtk
top = gtk.Window(gtk.WINDOW_TOPLEVEL)
top.show()
e = gtk.Entry()
sty = e.get_style().copy()
sty.font = gtk.load_font('fixed')
e.set_style(sty)
e.set_text('the rain')
e.show()
top.add(e)
gtk.mainloop()

but the font I get is some default, variable width font.  What am
I doing wrong?  [I *have* scoured the FAQ and mailing list archives...]


 

GTK 2.0 uses a new text layout system called Pango, which is why the old 
method of changing the font does not work.

If you want to change an entry field to a monospaced font, use the 
following:
 font_desc = pango.FontDescription('monospace')
 entry.modify_font(font_desc)
   


 

Whoa. Does this mean that the old commands *still work*, but produce old
results? George?
   


The above code just displays in the default font, seemingly ignoring
the set_style() statement.  It doesn't crash, but I would say that's
"not working".  It's not the "old results" one would have got from gtk+-1.x.
 

The reason that the font doesn't apply is that the GtkStyle class no 
longer has a font property (it was removed), so doing "style.font = foo" 
simply sets an attribute on the style object that isn't used for 
anything.  The widget.modify_font() method of changing the font is 
preferred with gtk 2.0.

If you want to change an entry field to a monospaced font, use the 
following:
 font_desc = pango.FontDescription('monospace')
 entry.modify_font(font_desc)

The "monospace" font will map to the user's preferred monospaced font.
