From the basic concept of the old version
of this repository and the build system
created for python-gttk
now comes a version of the extrafont package that is packaged for
Python on both Windows and Linux platforms and run on CI platforms.
The package is built with CMake and scikit-build,
and on Windows an installation of MYS2 is
required. The original build system for the extrafont package with
a build system that depends on Visual Studio is not available in this
repository, though you might be able to build the extrafont binary
separately and then copy it as you require.
This example is given for Ubuntu 20.04, change the names of packages and commands as required for your distribution of choice.
sudo apt install python3-dev tcl-dev tk-dev \
fontconfig libfontconfig1 libfontconfig1-dev \
cmake cmake-data extra-cmake-modules build-essential
python -m pip install scikit-build
python setup.py install See the setup.py and .appveyor.yml for more detailed installation
instructions. After installing the dependencies (tk, cmake,
toolchain, fontconfig), run in the MSYS shell:
python setup..py build
python setup.py install
import tkinter as tk
from tkextrafont import Font
window = tk.Tk()
font = Font(file="tests/overhaul.ttf", family="Overhaul")
tk.Label(window, text="Hello", font=font).pack()
window.mainloop()This library is available under the MIT License, as described in
LICENSE.md. extrafont is originally available under a different
license, which is also found in LICENSE.md. The build system
(setup.py, .appveyor.yml and .travis.yml) are available under
GNU GPLv3 only.
