Hi,

I'm trying to set a custom font on a widget with Gtk#. I'm trying to use
the FontDescription.FromString() method in Pango# so that it doesn't
require too much effort.

However, that method always seems to return null. Is this a known bug or
am I using things wrong?

If it's unimplemented and I can help implementing it, please point me to
where I can add code to Gtk# to make custom font things work?

I've attached a simple bit of code that illustrates my problem. It
always prints "no font present" regardless of my font description.

Regards,

Lee Mallabone.
