New submission from mark saaltink <platonic.liq...@gmail.com>: Tkinter, since tk 8.5 apparently, does not find all the fonts that tk knows about.
I'm using Python 2.6.5 on Linux but have seen this on previous versions. I have added the font with "xset fp+ <some font directory>"". The font is Richard Jones' zed font, available from http://www.cs.kent.ac.uk/people/staff/rej/Zedfont/latest/ xlsfonts shows the font. tk sees the font; in wish if I type "font families" there it is: % font families {fangsong ti} fixed {clearlyu alternate glyphs} charter lucidatypewriter zedfont {latin modern roman} ... In Tkinter I do not see the font: >>> from Tkinter import * >>> r = Tk() >>> import tkFont >>> tkFont.families(r) ... no sign of the zedfont here. Is this expected behaviour? Is there another way to install the font that avoids this problem? ---------- components: Tkinter messages: 118850 nosy: mark.saaltink priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Tkinter does not find font type: behavior versions: Python 2.6 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue10118> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
