[Gtk-sharp-list] Gtk.TextView.ModifyFont Questions

[Jeremiah McElroy]

I am working on a simple text editor (entirely for my own edification) 
that contains a TextView (named TVMain) in a ScrolledWindow.

I have created a FontSelectionDialog (named GetNewFont) and I am using 
FontSelectionDialog.Run() to return a response which is parsed into a 
Gtk.ResponseType.  When the ResponseType is set to ResponseType.Ok, the 
program attempts to change the font.  When I do something like this:

string newFont = GetNewFont.FontName;

Pango.FontDescription fontdesc = new Pango.FontDescription();
fontdesc.Family = newFont;

TVMain.ModifyFont (fontdesc);

The font is correctly changed, but the size is not effected.  If I parse 
the font size out of the string, usually in the form of 'Monospace 12' 
and set it through the following:

int fontsize;

// some code to parse out the font size from the font string

Pango.FontDescription fontdesc = new Pango.FontDescription();
fontdesc.Family = newFont;
fontdesc.Size   = fontsite;

TVMain.ModifyFont (fontdesc);

The font appears to change, but I can't tell for sure because the font 
size gets set to either 1 or 2 px, I'm not entirely sure because it's tiny.

Any help would be appreciated.
