Generated metadata helpers for FontFamily class surfaces.

Methods

• properties ()

  Returns property metadata for FontFamily.

  • @r A list.

class: FontFamily

[14:7] extends: object

A PangoFontFamily is used to represent a family of related font faces. The font faces in a family share a common design, but differ in slant, weight, width or other aspects.

Methods

• FontFamily (Handle = null)

  Creates a new FontFamily by wrapping a native handle or another wrapper.

  • @p Handle is the native handle or another wrapper whose handle to adopt.

• toNativeHandle (Source)

  Normalizes a constructor argument into a raw pointer carrier. Accepts a raw NativeHandle, a raw NativeBuffer returned from fn.call(...), another generated wrapper exposing handle(), or null. Returns null when the argument carries no pointer.

  • @p Source is the raw handle, raw buffer, wrapper, or null.
  • @r A raw pointer carrier or null when no pointer is present.

• getLib ()

  Returns the opened native library for this generated wrapper.

  • @r The opened native library.

• handle ()

  Returns the wrapped NativeHandle.

  • @r The wrapped NativeHandle.

• isNull ()

  Returns true when the wrapped handle is null.

  • @r A bool.

• describe ()

  Returns a small string for debugging generated wrappers.

  • @r A string.

• asObject ()

  Wraps this handle as Object.

  • @r A Object object.

• asListModel ()

  Wraps this handle as ListModel.

  • @r A ListModel object.

• get_face (string name)

  Gets the PangoFontFace of @family with the given name.

  • @p name is the name of a face. If the name is %NULL, the family's default face (fontconfig calls it "Regular") will be returned..

• get_name ()

  Gets the name of the family. The name is unique among all fonts for the font backend and can be used in a PangoFontDescription to specify that a face from this family is desired.

• is_monospace ()

  A monospace font is a font designed for text display where the the characters form a regular grid. For Western languages this would mean that the advance width of all characters are the same, but this categorization also includes Asian fonts which include double-width characters: characters that occupy two grid cells. g_unichar_iswide() returns a result that indicates whether a character is typically double-width in a monospace font. The best way to find out the grid-cell size is to call [method@Pango.FontMetrics.get_approximate_digit_width], since the results of [method@Pango.FontMetrics.get_approximate_char_width] may be affected by double-width characters.

• is_variable ()

  A variable font is a font which has axes that can be modified to produce different faces. Such axes are also known as variations; see [method@Pango.FontDescription.set_variations] for more information.
