AllFonts(*deprecatedSortOptions, sortOptions=None, reverse=False)
Return a list of all open fonts.
Optional sorting options can be provided. see FontsList
NewFont(familyName=None, styleName=None, showInterface=True, showUI=None)
Open a new font.
Optional familyName and styleName can be provided.
Use showInterface (bool) to indicate if the font should be opened in the UI.
OpenFont(pathOrObject=None, showInterface=True, showUI=None)

CreateCursor(pathOrImage, hotSpot=(4, 4))

class FontsList()
A list object to sort fonts according to different options.
getFontsByFamilyName(familyName)
Get a list of fonts that match familyName.
This will return an instance of BaseFontList.
getFontsByFamilyNameStyleName(familyName, styleName)
Get a list of fonts that match familyName and styleName.
This will return an instance of BaseFontList.
getFontsByFontInfoAttribute(*attributeValuePairs)
Get a list of fonts that match the (attribute, value)
combinations in attributeValuePairs.
:
>>> subFonts = fonts.getFontsByFontInfoAttribute(("xHeight", 20))
>>> subFonts = fonts.getFontsByFontInfoAttribute(("xHeight", 20), ("descender", -150))
This will return an instance of BaseFontList.
getFontsByStyleName(styleName)
Get a list of fonts that match styleName.
This will return an instance of BaseFontList.
sortBy(sortOptions, reverse=False)
Sort fonts with the ordering preferences defined
by sortBy. sortBy must be one of the following:
- sort description string
BaseInfoattribute name- sort value function
- list/tuple containing sort description strings,
BaseInfoattribute names and/or sort value functions "magic"
Sort Description Strings
The sort description strings, and how they modify the sort, are: | | | |—————————————————-|————————————| | “familyName” | F | amily names by alphabetical order. | | “styleName” | S | tyle names by alphabetical order. | | “isItalic” | I | talics before romans. | | “isRoman” | R | omans before italics. | | “widthValue” | W | idth values by numerical order. | | “weightValue” | W | eight values by numerical order. | | “monospace” | M | onospaced before proportional. | | “proportional” | P | roportional before monospaced. |
:
>>> fonts.sortBy(("familyName", "styleName"))
Font Info Attribute Names
Any BaseFont attribute name may be included as
a sort option. For example, to sort by x-height value,
you’d use the "xHeight" attribute name.
:
>>> fonts.sortBy("xHeight")
Sort Value Function
A sort value function must be a function that accepts
one argument, font. This function must return
a sortable value for the given font. For example:
:
def glyphCountSortValue(font):
return len(font)
>>> fonts.sortBy(glyphCountSortValue)
A list of sort description strings and/or sort functions may also be provided. This should be in order of most to least important. For example, to sort by family name and then style name, do this:
“magic”
If “magic” is given for sortBy, the fonts will be
sorted based on this sort description sequence:
"familyName""isProportional""widthValue""weightValue""styleName""isRoman"
:
>>> fonts.sortBy("magic")
