# Detail

The `FontSelection` widget lists the available fonts, styles and sizes, allowing the user to select a font. It is used in the `FontSelectionDialog` widget to provide a dialog box for selecting fonts.

To set the font which is initially selected, use `fontSelectionSetFontName`.

To get the selected font use `fontSelectionGetFontName`.

To change the text which is shown in the preview area, use `fontSelectionSetPreviewText`.
