Allow setting font within a TextView

[jonathanstowe]

Hi,
I think that it's something that would have to be implemented for all widgets by implementing the pango font stuff:

https://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/stable/GtkWidget.html#gtk-widget-set-font-options

because that will require a whole bunch of other stuff regarding Pango to be implemented I don't think it's something that will get done immediately.

The only interface regarding the font on the text view is toggling between proportional and monospace:

https://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/stable/GtkTextView.html#gtk-text-view-set-monospace

That is quite doable and I'll have a look today.

Hope that helps.

I am however going to do #28 before adding any more properties to the interface.

I implemented pango for Label, see MarkUpLabel.

Very simple changes to Label. But I don't know how general these change can be

Ignore last remark. My bad. Marked label is just a call to gtk_marked_label. It uses pango internally, but can't be generalised.

With GTK 4 launched, this enhancement for GTK 3 require a huge amount of effort. Not cost effective, so closing. MarkUpLabel allows for coloured text and should meet most font type issues.

Please note that there is p6-Pango. It's still experimental, but I have found it workable enough. Would be nice to get more eyes on it so I can find and eliminate any bugs that are there.
