Font

class Font(**properties: Any)

Superclasses: Font, Object

PangoFcFont is a base class for font implementations using the Fontconfig and FreeType libraries.

It is used in onjunction with FontMap. When deriving from this class, you need to implement all of its virtual functions other than shutdown() along with the get_glyph_extents() virtual function from PangoFont.

Methods

class Font

description_from_pattern(pattern: Pattern, include_size: bool) → FontDescription

Creates a PangoFontDescription that matches the specified Fontconfig pattern as closely as possible.

Many possible Fontconfig pattern values, such as %FC_RASTERIZER or %FC_DPI, don’t make sense in the context of PangoFontDescription, so will be ignored.

Added in version 1.4.

Parameters:

• pattern – a FcPattern

• include_size – if True, the pattern will include the size from the pattern; otherwise the resulting pattern will be unsized. (only %FC_SIZE is examined, not %FC_PIXEL_SIZE)

get_glyph(wc: str) → int

Gets the glyph index for a given Unicode character for font.

If you only want to determine whether the font has the glyph, use has_char.

Added in version 1.4.

Parameters:

wc – Unicode character to look up

get_languages() → list[Language] | None

Returns the languages that are supported by font.

This corresponds to the FC_LANG member of the FcPattern.

The returned array is only valid as long as the font and its fontmap are valid.

Added in version 1.48.

Deprecated since version 1.50: Use pango_font_get_language()

get_unknown_glyph(wc: str) → int

Returns the index of a glyph suitable for drawing wc as an unknown character.

Use GET_UNKNOWN_GLYPH() instead.

Added in version 1.4.

Parameters:

wc – the Unicode character for which a glyph is needed.

has_char(wc: str) → bool

Determines whether font has a glyph for the codepoint wc.

Added in version 1.4.

Deprecated since version 1.44: Use has_char

Parameters:

wc – Unicode codepoint to look up

kern_glyphs(glyphs: GlyphString) → None

This function used to adjust each adjacent pair of glyphs in glyphs according to kerning information in font.

Since 1.44, it does nothing.

Added in version 1.4.

Deprecated since version 1.32: Please do not use it in newly written code

Parameters:

glyphs – a PangoGlyphString

unlock_face() → None

Releases a font previously obtained with lock_face.

Added in version 1.4.

Deprecated since version 1.44: Use get_hb_font() instead
