Project description

Python bindings for Fontconfig library

Requirement

Tested on

  • Python 2.7.2 (32-bit, 64-bit)

  • Python 3.2.2 (32-bit, 64-bit)

  • Python 3.3.2 (64-bit)

Installation

From PyPI:

>>> pip install Python-fontconfig

or

>>> easy_install Python-fontconfig

From GitHub:

>>> git clone git://github.com/Vayn/python-fontconfig.git
>>> cd python-fontconfig/
>>> python setup.py install

Building C source

>>> python setup.py build_ext -i

Testing

>>> cd test/
>>> python test.py

Usage

>>> import fontconfig
>>> fonts = fontconfig.query(family='ubuntu', lang='en')
>>> fonts
['/usr/share/fonts/truetype/ubuntu-font-family/Ubuntu-BI.ttf',
 '/usr/share/fonts/truetype/ubuntu-font-family/Ubuntu-L.ttf',
 '/usr/share/fonts/truetype/ubuntu-font-family/Ubuntu-LI.ttf',
 '/usr/share/fonts/truetype/ubuntu-font-family/Ubuntu-R.ttf',
 '/usr/share/fonts/truetype/ubuntu-font-family/Ubuntu-B.ttf',
 '/usr/share/fonts/truetype/ubuntu-font-family/Ubuntu-RI.ttf']
>>> font = fontconfig.FcFont(fonts[0])
>>> font
<FcFont: Ubuntu>
>>> font.
font.bestname           font.capability         font.fullname
font.slant              font.count_chars        font.get_languages
font.spacing            font.decorative         font.has_char
font.style              font.family             font.index
font.weight             font.file               font.outline
font.width              font.fontformat         font.print_pattern
font.foundry            font.scalable
>>> font.family
{'en': 'Ubuntu'}
>>> font.bestname
{'en': 'Ubuntu'}
>>> font.foundry
'unknown'
>>> font.fontformat
'TrueType'
>>> font.has_char('A')
True
>>> font.file
'/usr/share/fonts/truetype/ubuntu-font-family/Ubuntu-BI.ttf'
>>> fontconfig.fromName('Ubuntu')
<FcFont: Ubuntu>
>>> font = fontconfig.FcFont(font.file)
>>> font.family
{'en': 'Ubuntu'}

To get fonts from a .ttc (TrueType font collection) file:

>>> font = fontconfig.fromName('simsun')
>>> font.count, font.index, font.file, font
(3, 0, '/home/lilydjwg/.fonts/win/simsun.ttc', <FcFont: 宋体>)
>>> font = fontconfig.FcFont(font.file, 1)
>>> font.count, font.index, font.file, font
(3, 1, '/home/lilydjwg/.fonts/win/simsun.ttc', <FcFont: 新宋体>)
>>> fontconfig.query('新宋体', with_index=True)
[('/home/lilydjwg/.fonts/win/simsun.ttc', 1)]
