Classes

• FontKey - A class for storing Font properties
• FontManager - On import, the FontManager creates a dictionary of TrueType fonts based on the font properties: name, style, variant, weight, stretch, and size
• FontProperties - A class for storing and manipulating font properties

Functions

• add_filename(fontdict, prop, fname)

  A function to add a font file name to the font dictionary using the FontKey properties. If a font property has no dictionary, then create it.

• afmFontProperty(font)

  A function for populating the FontKey by extracting information from the AFM font file.

• createFontDict(fontfiles, fontext = 'ttf')

  A function to create a dictionary of font file paths. The default is to create a dictionary for TrueType fonts. An AFM font dictionary can optionally be created.

• findSystemFonts(fontpaths = None, fontext = 'ttf')

  Search for fonts in the specified font paths, or use the system paths if none given. A list of TrueType fonts are returned by default with AFM fonts as an option.

• get_configdir()

  Return the string representing the configuration dir. If s is the special string _default_, use HOME/.kiva. s must be writable

• get_home()

  Find user's home directory if possible. Otherwise raise error.

  see:	http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/2005-February/263921.html

• getPropDict(font)
• OSXFontDirectory()

  Return the system font directories for OS X.

• OSXInstalledFonts(directory = None, fontext = None)

  Get list of font files on OS X - ignores font suffix by default

• setWeights(font)

  A function to populate missing values in a font weight dictionary. This proceedure is necessary since the font finding algorithm always matches on the weight property.

• ttfdict_to_fnames(d)

  flatten a ttfdict to all the filenames it contains

• ttfFontProperty(font)

  A function for populating the FontKey by extracting information from the TrueType font file.

• weight_as_number(weight)

  Return the weight property as a numeric value. String values are converted to their corresponding numeric value.

• win32FontDirectory()

  Return the user-specified font directory for Win32.

• win32InstalledFonts(directory = None, fontext = 'ttf')

  Search for fonts in the specified font directory, or use the system directories if none given. A list of TrueType fonts are returned by default with AFM fonts as an option.

• x11FontDirectory()

  Return the system font directories for X11.
