=head1 NAME
Tk::FontDialog - a font dialog widget for perl/Tk
=head1 SYNOPSIS
use Tk::FontDialog;
$font = $top->FontDialog->Show;
=head1 DESCRIPTION
Tk::FontDialog implements a font dialog widget.
The dialog is displayed by calling the B<Show> method. The returned
value is either the selected font (if the dialog was closed with the
Ok button) or undef (otherwise). The exact type of the return value is
either a L<Tk::Font> object (in Tk800) or a font name string (usually
something like C<font1>). Both can be used as values in Tk C<-font>
options. See L</GetDescriptiveFontName>
In the Family and Size listboxes, the font family and font size can be
specified. The checkbuttons on the right turn on bold, italic,
underlined and overstriked variants of the chosen font. A sample of
the font is shown in the middle area.
With the "Alt sample" checkbutton, it is possible to show all
characters in the charset instead of the default text. "Fixed only"
restricts the font family list to fixed fonts only. If the "Nicefonts"
checkbutton is set, then the font names in the listbox are displayed
in the corresponding font. Note that this option can be slow if a lot
of fonts are installed or for 16 bit fonts.
A click with the right button in the font size listbox pops up a
window to enter arbitrary font sizes.
=head1 WIDGET-SPECIFIC OPTIONS
=over 4
=item -font
The dialog font.
=item -initfont
The initial font.
=item -fontsizes
A list of font sizes. The default contains sizes from 0 to 72 points
(XXX or pixels?).
=item -nicefont
If set, font names are displayed in its font style. This may be slow,
especially if you have many fonts or 16 bit fonts (e.g. Asian fonts).
=item -nicefontsbutton
If set to false, then the "Nice fonts" button is not displayed.
=item -fixedfont
If set, proportional font families are not listed, leaving only the fixed
fonts. This is slow, as each font must be checked to see if it is fixed
or proportional.
=item -fixedfontsbutton
If set to false, then the "Fixed fonts" button is not displayed.
=item -sampletext
The sample text which should contain all letters. The default is "The
Quick Brown Fox Jumps Over The Lazy Dog" German readers may probably
use "Franz jagt im komplett verwahrlosten Taxi quer durch Bayern".
=back
=head1 INTERNATIONALIZATION
There are a couple of options to change the labels of the dialog. Note
that you can prepend a tilde (C<~>) to get an accelerator key with
C<Alt>. Here is a list of these options with the default (English)
setting:
=over 4
=item -familylabel (Family:)
=item -sizelabel (Size:)
=item -weightlabel (Bold)
=item -slantlabel (Italic)
=item -underlinelabel (Underline)
=item -overstrikelabel (Overstrike)
=item -oklabel (OK)
=item -applylabel (Apply)
=item -cancellabel (Cancel)
=item -altsamplelabel (Alt sample)
=item -nicefontslabel (Nicefonts)
=item -fixedfontslabel (Fixed Only)
=item -title (Choose font)
=item -customsizetitle (Choose font size)
=back
=head1 METHODS IN Tk::Widget
=over
=item B<RefontTree>(-font => I<$font>)
Additionally, the convenience method B<RefontTree> is defined in the
L<Tk::Widget> namespace. Using this method a font definition could be
applied to a complete subtree of a widget. This is similar to the
method B<RecolorTree>. Calling B<RefontTree> looks like this:
$font = $mw->FontDialog->Show;
$mainwindow->RefontTree(-font => $font) if defined $font;
By default RefontTree does not change the font of canvas elements.
This can be done by specifying C<< -canvas => 1 >>.
=item B<GetDescriptiveFontName>(I<$fontname>)
Return a "descriptive" font name (just like form [3] as described in
L<Tk::Font>). The return value from the Show() method has the
disadvantage that it is only valid for the current Tk session. A
"descriptive" font name may be stored and reused later.

=head1 CAVEAT
Note that font names with whitespace like "New century schoolbook" or
"MS Sans Serif" can cause problems when using in a -font option. The
solution is to put the names in Tcl-like braces, like
-font => "{New century schoolbook} 10"
=head1 EXAMPLES
To apply a selected font to a specific widget, use the following
snippet:
$font = $mw->FontDialog->Show;
if (defined $font) {
$button->configure(-font => $font);
}
This example uses the convenience method B<RefontTree> to apply the
new font to the whole application:
use Tk;
use Tk::FontDialog;
$mw = tkinit;
$mw->Label(-text => "Test")->pack;
$mw->Button(-text => "Another test")->pack;
$mw->Button(-text => "Use Tk::FontDialog",
-command => sub {
my $font = $mw->FontDialog->Show;
if (defined $font) {
$mw->RefontTree(-font => $font);
}
})->pack;
MainLoop;
To get the "descriptive" font name:
$font = $mw->FontDialog->Show;
if (defined $font) {
$font_descriptive = $mw->GetDescriptiveFontName($font);
print $font_descriptive, "\n";
}
=head1 AVAILABILITY
The latest released version is available from cpan (e.g.
L<http://search.cpan.org/~srezic/>). The latest development version is
available from github (L<http://github.com/eserte/tk-fontdialog>).
=head1 BUGS/TODO
- ConfigSpecs handling is poor
put at least -font into configspecs
- run test, call dialog for 2nd time: immediate change of font?
- better name for nicefont
- restrict on charsets and encodings (xlsfonts? X11::Protocol::ListFonts?)
difficult because core Tk font handling ignores charsets and encodings
