DrawingArea and Text display.

[Tony Denault <denault hawaii edu>]

Hi,

Trying to convert some 1.2 gtk code to 2.0. Trying not to use any
deprecated functions. I used the DrawingArea to display my own
text using different font & colors. However documentation is very scarce.

Could some explain the new way for something like this:

   Fixed_font = gdk_font_load ("fixed");
   GC = gdk_gc_new(base_window->window);

   sprintf( buf, "Temperature is %6.2f K ", temperature_value );
   gdk_draw_text( da->window, Fixed_font, GC, x, y, buf,  strlen(buf) );

So far:

   Fixed_font = pango_font_description_from_string ("Fixed");
   GC = gdk_gc_new(base_window->window);

   <stuck on how to display string in Drawing area using pango>

Thanks,

Tony
