[Sugar-devel] [FEATURE] Fonts-configuration

[Art Hunkins]

Simple question #2 (of 2):

Is the font size setting found via:

font = widget.get_pango_context().get_font_description()

determined by the Gconf setting (that the new UI will allow the user to 
vary), or is it independent and set (preset)  in some other way?
