Gtk2::F...onDialog(3)

okay bestie, so this is Gtk2::F...onDialog(3) — yeah the header cut the name off, that's not a typo, that's just the man page being dramatic. It lives in the User Contributed Perl Documentation section, and it's genuinely one of the most "pick a font, bestie" pages in all of Gtk2. Let's get into it. 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

Gtk2::FontSelectionDialog — it's a wrapper for GtkFontSelectionDialog. That's the whole assignment. It wraps the thing. Periodt. 💅

🦋 HIERARCHY 🦋

okay so the family tree is deep, like generational trauma deep, look:

Glib::Object
+----Glib::InitiallyUnowned
     +----Gtk2::Object
          +----Gtk2::Widget
               +----Gtk2::Container
                    +----Gtk2::Bin
                         +----Gtk2::Window
                              +----Gtk2::Dialog
                                   +----Gtk2::FontSelectionDialog

every ancestor gets its little moment. iconic lineage honestly. 👑
