[pygtk] using pango style on edited text

[Stephen George]

Hi,

I have a text buffer, that I wanted to display in bold, slightly larger =

font and with some margins, for entire buffer, no need to change styles. =

(like setting a default font)
All I want is to set the entire buffer/view to a predefined font/margin =

style, user will not have options to change it

It seems the only way was to use pango, .. am I missing something?

I implemented that in my text buffer, .. however if use the textview to =

enter new text at the end of the text buffer, .. it's not in pango =

style, ... no margins, no bold.
If I enter new text in middle of my buffer, it takes on existing style.

I don't know how to make that new text at end of buffer insert in pango =

style.

My application, . looks up a message for a selected item in a list box, =

and displays that in the textview.
When a new item is selected, I clear the textview, and use the function =

addToBuffer() to add the new text. A user could then edit the text to =

add additional info, .. but as can be seen in picture, that text is not =

in 'style'.

addToBuffer() is only used for the initial insertion, ..If then someone =

enters into the textView and adds text (as editable), .. I don't know =

how it knows what style to insert in. Am I meant to be adding some =

support code to get it to add in 'style'

    def createBufTags(self, textbuf):
        import pango
        table =3D textbuf.get_tag_table()
        tag =3D gtk.TextTag('marketspeak')
        tag.set_property( 'weight', pango.WEIGHT_BOLD)
        tag.set_property( 'foreground', "black")
        tag.set_property( 'left_margin', 10)
        tag.set_property( 'right_margin', 10)
        table.add(tag)


    def addToBuffer(self, buf, speak ):
        iter =3D buf.get_end_iter()
        buf.insert_with_tags_by_name(iter, speak , "marketspeak")


Thanks
Steve
