💅 Gtk2::FontSelection — NAME

okay so bestie, welcome to Gtk2::FontSelection 💖 — it's the Perl wrapper for GtkFontSelection, aka the little widget that lets your user pick a font and makes them feel like a typography main character. We're in the Gtk2 manual (User Contributed Perl Documentation, no less), so pull up a chair 🎀
