[API 2.4] font in entry

[Yann Leydier <yann leydier info>]

Hullo,

I'm trying to change the font (face and style) in a custom object 
derived from Entry.

I use the following code:
	Pango::FontDescription 
fd(get_layout()->get_context()->get_font_description());
	if (word.HasSerif())
		fd.set_family("times");
	else
		fd.set_family("arial");
	if (word.IsItalics())
		fd.set_style(Pango::STYLE_ITALIC);
	else
		fd.set_style(Pango::STYLE_NORMAL);
	get_layout()->get_context()->set_font_description(fd);


This seems to need the widget to be associated to a fully functionnal 
GdkWidow, so rather than putting this code in the constructor, I 
connected it to a signal.

I tried map and map-event but it did not work. I thought that these 
signals where emitted when (resp.) asking to associate and associating 
the widget to a GdkWindow…

I also tried expose-event, which is supposed to be emitted when the 
widget is rendered, and it changes the font only when the edit gets the 
focus! O_O

Do you have any insight on the matter, please?
