Description Larry McKoder CLA 2004-09-20 10:35:45 EDT 
I am developing a "Console" widget which can only use a fixed-width font such 
as Courier and Lucida Sans Typewriter.

I want to allow the user to change the font using the FontDialog, but prevent 
the user from selecting a variable-width font such as Arial.

In Windows this can be done by setting the CF_FIXEDPITCHONLY flag of CHOOSEFONT 
structure.

api request, SN to consider.  Note that I don't see a way to do this on gtk.

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it and remove the stalebug whiteboard tag. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
