wand.font — Fonts

New in version 0.3.0.

Font is an object which takes the path of font file, size, color, and whether to use antialiasing. If you want to use font by its name rather than the file path, use TTFQuery package. The font path resolution by its name is a very complicated problem to achieve.

TTFQuery — Find and Extract Information from TTF Files

TTFQuery builds on the FontTools-TTX package to allow the Python programmer to accomplish a number of tasks:

• query the system to find installed fonts
• retrieve metadata about any TTF font file
  • this includes the glyph outlines (shape) of individual code-points, which allows for rendering the glyphs in 3D (such as is done in OpenGLContext)
• lookup/find fonts by:
  • abstract family type
  • proper font name
• build simple metadata registries for run-time font matching

class wand.font.Font

Font struct which is a subtype of tuple.

Parameters:

• path (str, basestring) – the path of the font file
• size (numbers.Real) – the size of typeface. 0 by default which means autosized

• antialias (bool) – whether to use antialiasing. True by default

Changed in version 0.3.9: The size parameter becomes optional. Its default value is 0, which means autosized.
