Example for doing gtk draw_string on a drawing area (newbie)

[Cameron Kerr <cameron kerr paradise net nz>]

Hi, I'm new to Perl, and to GTK programming.

I'm making an SNMP graphing application, and have so far got it to poll,
draw, and update the display.

Now I need to draw some labels and values on the axes.

I'm fairly certain I need to use draw_string, but I don't know what the
font argument is supposed to be.

So far, the appropriate lines say

        my $font_gc = new Gtk::Gdk::GC ( $widget->window );
        my $fontcolor = $widget->window->get_colormap->color_alloc(
                        { red => 0, green => 0, blue => 0 } );

        $graph->draw_string( $font_gc, 'what goes here?', 
                        20, 20, "Hello, World" );

According to the error message, its supposed to be of type
Gtk::Gdk::Font, but how do I specify it?

Thanks
