Re: [pygame] font.get_fonts and OS X



Hi,

two things I found out...

maybe this key works?
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows[NT]\CurrentVersion\Fonts"


Also there is an function called EnumFontFamilies, that is there from win95 to get font information.


Here's some code I found using the win32gui module...

import win32gui
hdc=win32gui.CreateDC('DISPLAY','Display',None)
fonts=[]
def callback(font, tm, fonttype, fonts):
    fonts.append(font)
    #print font.lfFaceName
    #print fonttype
    return True
win32gui.EnumFontFamilies(hdc, None, callback, fonts)

#print fonts

f = fonts[0]

print dir(fonts[0])

Hi,

I see there are problems with Windows XP. Apparently the default fonts aren't showing up in the usual registry place:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Fonts

I guess that is just for additional fonts, which Brian's build machine apparently does not have. Would there be any other places in the registry to search? Or must one start with a list of default Windows fonts then check for each in the \windows\fonts directory?

hi,

the tests pass on 10.5.7... which just uses the unix function... (which uses fc-list).

I think it should be easier to figure out what to do for when fc-list isn't there (pre 10.5.x machines)...  by looking at the out put that the fc-list using function uses.

cu,

   I committed what I have so far. If OS X has an fc-list equivalent
   take a look at the updates I made to the Unix section of
   sysfont.py for Python 3 and unicode. Some of it may be relevant.

       hello,

       ah, nice catch!   That's annoying... all this time and it
       hasn't been
       working on OSX.

       Can you commit your tests?

       I can have a go at it... unless Brian you want to have a go?


       Here are the main font paths... the X11 one isn't there on most
       installs for 10.4.x ... but should be there on most 10.5.x
       installs.
       The last path is where OS9 used to install fonts, and some people
       still use that directory apparently.

       ~/Library/Fonts/
       /Library/Fonts/
       /System/Library/Fonts/
       /usr/X11/lib/X11/fonts/TTF/
       /Network/Library/Fonts/
       /System Folder/Fonts/


       cheers,

           Currently I am filling in the font unit tests. For OS X I
           noticed that
           sysfont.py does not hunt down installed fonts. The
           relevant function is a
           stub. I have no OS X access, so can't write it myself. Is
           someone else
           willing to take care of it. Otherwise when I commit the
           completed unit tests
           they will fail for OS X.
