ok, owen put a fonct selector into cvs, i guess it's 0.7 (it already
showes [filtered]).

as for the selection itself, i'd say it is actually *pretty* cool!

as for the gui, i dislike the notebook approach a little, since this way
one can't immediatedly figure which filter is active.
also i think the "Clear Filter" and "Reset" buttons should have the same
name (i.e. "Clear Filter"), to avoid confusion (i actually tried out whether
they cause the same operation).
for the window itself, the auto-shrink policy is really anoying (one should
never use auto-shrink for a window that holds lists).
also i think the "Font:", "Font Style:" and "Font Size:" lists should use
SELECTION_BROWSE, since there is no real use in having no font selected
(i was actually scrolling through the list to figure which one is initialy
selected).
also the fonteselector segfaulted on me when i clicked on "Allow scaled
bitmap fonts", right after it was created (though that fault wasn't really
reliably reproducable):

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
gtk_font_selection_show_available_sizes (fontsel=0x8117000)
    at gtkfontsel.c:1335
1335          bitmapped_sizes = &fontsel_info->pixel_sizes[style->pixel_sizes_index];


ahh, yes, the ok button just destroyes the notebook for me and leaves the
window on screen.

ok, enough grumbling, i actually think you produced an extremely nice and
usefull widget with this! ;))
