is custom font supported? #56

Closed mat-lo closed 2 years ago

mat-lo commented 2 years ago

I looked for it in the documentation but it's not there so I guess not

thanks for the report.

there's indeed no exposed API to do that at the moment. as the underlying Gio library allows for such a thing, it wouldn't be too difficult to achieve such a thing.

do you expect to be able to have different fonts flavors (italic/bold/mono), different fonts altogether (helvetica/noto,....) or both, on a per-text basis? or something at the "application" level would suffice?

Thanks @sbinet for your quick reply! It would be great if we could use a custom font file altogether, just like loadFont() in p5.js.
