   NAME
       getfont_gc -- create getfont BOOPSI objects

   SUPERCLASS
       gadgetclass

   REQUIRES
       button.gadget

   DESCRIPTION
       The getfont gadget class is used to get fonts and font attributes from a
       font requester in an easy and consistent way.  It consists of two button
       gadgets, one read-only and one popfont button, that are used to select
       the font and show the result.

       Advantages that this class provides:

       > Consistent behaviour and look in all applications using this class
         instead of doing their own font selection routines.

       > Easy to use.
