Detailed Description

The GFontChooser class contains static methods for popping up font-choosing dialog boxes that allow the user to select a font family, size, and style.

Each method blocks until the font is chosen and the dialog is closed, returning the font the user chose (or an empty string if the user canceled).

Fonts are represented as font strings such as "Helvetica-12-Bold" or "Times New Roman-14".

See the GFont class for more information about fonts and font strings.
