Need help for "Usage"

[mic-user]

Hi. it is nice package. However, cannot get over the first line that font query.

1. In case designate custom font file folder myself, how to load a font with it?

for example, FontDB.LoadFromDir("c:\\custom_vari_font_folder\\") font = FontDB.Query( what should I put the name here? file name? or what? )

2. When setup single font as below, how to map a fallback font? since there is no automatic fallback font mapping. FontDB.LoadFromPath('test_font', "c:\\custom_vari_font_folder\\test.ttf") font : Font = FontDB.Query("test_font")

3. The 'LoadFromPath' takes first parameter as a name. Is it support any space included name? Seems does not. How to use/assign space included name with it? FontDB.LoadFromPath('test font', "c:\\custom_vari_font_folder\\test.ttf") font : Font = FontDB.Query("test font") <<< ERROR

Hi @mic-user, you can use the method FontDbB.LoadPathFromDir, to load a singular font with a name. You can then query for that font name.

Hey, another questions

1. Is there any method that assign the 'Fallback font'?
2. Is that possible to assign multiple fall back font?

[nathanielfernandes]

1. you can add fallbacks to a font by just listing their names after the font in the FontDB.Query method.

ex.

myfont = FontDB.Query("mycoolfont fallback1 fallback2")

2. yes

FontDB.LoadSystemFonts() #<<-- load stystem fonts FontDB.LoadFromPath('FontA', "x:\Font\A.ttf") FontDB.LoadFromPath('FontB', "x:\Font\B.ttf") font : Font = FontDB.Query("FontA MS-Gothic FontB") #<<-- MS-Gothic part seems not working

text = "hello ✓✔" draw_text_wrapped(canvas=cv, # the canvas to draw on text=text, x=256, y=256, # the position of the text ax=0.5, ay=0.5, # the anchor of the text size=32, # the size of the text width=500, # the width of the text font=font, fill=black, align=TextAlign.Center, stroke=2.0, # the stroke width (optional) stroke_color=rainbow, draw_emojis=True) # the stroke color (optional)
