previous next


There may be up to three ways to specify type style.

Simple Tuple Fonts:

As a tuple whose first element is the font family, followed by a size in points, optionally followed by a string containing one or more of the style modifiers bold, italic, underline, and overstrike.

Example:

Font object Fonts:

You can create a .font object. by importing the tkFont module and using its Font class constructor:

import tkFont

font = tkFont.Font ( option, ... )

Here is the list of options:

Example:

helv36 = tkFont.Font(family="Helvetica",size=36,weight="bold")

X Window Fonts:

If you are running under the X Window System, you can use any of the X font names.

For example, the font named "-*-lucidatypewriter-medium-r-*-*-*-140-*-*-*-*-*-*" is the author's favorite fixed-width font for onscreen use. Use the xfontsel program to help you select pleasing fonts.
