Here’s a more windows centric approach and it foreaches through all the Windows
fonts:
** It’s interesting that it says that it was last modified today… odd, but
whatever
from win32com.client.dynamic import Dispatch
ids =
[0,1,2,3,4,5,6,9,10,19,21,25,33,34,58,62,165,166,167,170,191,192,193,195,197,203,255]
shell_app = Dispatch('Shell.Application')
shell_app.Namespace('c:\\windows\\fonts')
folder = shell_app.Namespace('c:\\windows\\fonts')
myfile = ""
for font in folder.Items():
print(font.Name)
#if font.Name == "Verdana":
#break
for num in ids:
val = None
val = folder.GetDetailsOf(font, num)
item = folder.GetDetailsOf(None, num)
if val:
print("\t", num, f'{item} = {val}')
**
partial output:

Verdana

Hi,
Is it possible to get the family name of a font and/or any other information
from the naming table from a font file?
Something like that:
font = win32ui.loadFont(pathToTheFont)
familyName = font.getNameId(1)
Have a nice day

Re: [python-win32] Load custom font
While this isn't win32ui, I hope it helps.
pip install Pillow
from PIL import ImageFont
font = ImageFont.truetype("c:\\windows\\Fonts\\verdana.ttf", 28,
encoding="unic")
font.font.family
font.font.height
font.font.style
