This is what I;ve got so far:
Gdk.Window drawable = drawingarea1.GdkWindow ;
FontDescription fd = FontDescription.FromString("Sans 12");
Gdk.GC glick = new Gdk.GC(drawable);
Context ct = new Context(drawingarea1.PangoContext.Handle);
Font gf = ct.LoadFont(fd);
Thanks for that Ralph.
I've got the Graphics Context bug sorted; apparently the GC constructor
takes a graphics device object as argument, although it seems to request
a pointer (raw) in the intellisense.
Makes me think that the Font constructor is something equally simple.
What, exactly, remains a
Ralph, you beauty!
I stand corrected.
But really, at that stage a straight message about a GC assert failure
would not have helped!

Well, I gave Python. You didn't say what language, etc., you were
using. "I'm not going to supply any error output..." or tell us the
language. :-)
Seems to be you're after Mono from your later email.

Ralph- in a few words, NOT EVEN COMPILING.
This looks insanely complex.
You would think that they would try to explain how to use their product
somewhere.

Could have sworn I've tried that one! I'll give it another shot, and if
I get the same error, then I really will supply a description.
Who knows, if we crack this, I'll put th

Perhaps
pango.FontDescription("normal 10")
Cheers,
Ralph.

Next me
This is getting to be silly; Gtk 2 uses Pango for parts of the interface
rendering.
I am getting runtime errors due almost certainly to my inability to
supply a Pango.Font object.
I'm not going to supply any error output or listen to (too much) of a
lecture about Pango being a text-rendering add-in
Brilliant book.
Copy saved.
Thanks, Ralph.

Yes, BCPL was by Martin Richards at Cambridge University and was a
stripped-down version of CPL, the B meaning basic. That meant it was
easier to write a compiler for it,

Yikes, I remember APL (another programming language)

I have a bad memory of B. I went for an interview at the Genome Project
in Cambridge.
They wanted a B programme re-written in C++. It came down to the last
two.
I submitted an STL programme which was a general solution to their
problem, scal

If you're referring to the language known as "D" used with Solaris'
Dtrace debugger, then the answer is yes. Is there another D?
