In line 16 the "notify::font" signal from the widget is connected to the callback function font_cb() using widget.connect(signal, callback function). See Signals and callbacks for a more detailed explanation.
To set the font which is initially selected, use set_font(font) (where font is the font name) or set_font_desc(font) (where font is the PangoFontDescription).
To get the selected font use get_font() or get_font_desc().
To change the text which is shown in the preview area, use set_preview_text().
