msgid "Font description name to use for the document text"


"Font description name" sounds bogus to me. Is it the "name of a font
description"? Is it the "description name of a font"? Either interpretation
seems nonsensical.

This one aswell.
Comment 2 Gustavo Giráldez 2004-08-09 01:35:03 UTC 
Font description here refers to a Pango Font Description, so it's the name of a
font description.  For example, in GtkTextTag (gtk+ module) a similar property
is described as "Font description as a string, e.g. \"Sans Italic 12\"".  That's
in gtktexttag.c.

Could you please add translator comments explaining this? Thanks.
Comment 4 Christian Neumair 2004-08-09 08:11:52 UTC 
So the word name is obsolete. "Pango font description"/"Font description" is
totally sufficient.

regs,
 Chris
Comment 5 Gustavo Giráldez 2004-08-10 00:04:05 UTC 
How about "Font description (as string) to use for the document text"?  Is it
easily translatable to all languages?  "Pango font description"/"Font
description" alone imply a PangoFontDesc struct and not a string.
