Hey there,
I'm having a lot of trouble with the font api.
Basically it comes down to this:
1) If you have a font, and you call add_file() on it, you have no idea what
the associated font name is.
2) If you call either pyglet.font.load() for
pyglet.font.base.Font.have_font(), these return a font / true in all
circumstances.
The only way I've found to determine if we're successfully using a font or
not is:
pyglet.font.add_file(path)
font = pyglet.font.load(name=font_name, size=1)
span = font.ascent + font.descent
if span > 5:
print("ID %s did not match a known font name" % self.font)
This seems absolutely ridiculous to me.
I mean, what the heck is this nonsense?
@classmethod
def have_font(cls, name):
'''Determine if a font with the given name is installed.
:Parameters:
`name` : str
Name of a font to search for
:rtype: bool
'''
return True
!!! Why does the call even exist?
I appreciate loading fonts cross platform is tricky, and I suppose it's
vaguely nice having access to the default system fonts, but this api is
really really hard to use.
Am I doing something wrong?
Why is using fonts so difficult?

Doug.
