Introduction

Within Tk/tkinter there a number of fonts and font families.

Use a text widget to display an example of the fonts.

• there should be one global variable
  1. the font size (use 10 to start with)
• display the font families or names
• display the uppercase and lowercase letters in each font
• print the number of font families and names
• see at project #1 as an example

The following is an example of an output line

Times: abcdefghijknmnopqestuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ

Code Snippets

Use the following code snippets to display Tk font families and names. (and a text sample)

import sys

print(sys.version_info)
print('-----------------------------------------------------------')

if sys.version_info.major is 3:
    import tkinter as Tk, tkinter.font as tkFont
else:
    import Tkinter as Tk, tkFont

root = Tk.Tk()

print(tkFont.families())
print(tkFont.names())

root.mainloop()

OR

from Tkinter import *
import tkFont

root = Tk()

fonts=list(tkFont.families())
fonts.sort()

display = Listbox(root)
display.pack(fill=BOTH, expand=YES, side=LEFT)

scroll = Scrollbar(root)
scroll.pack(side=RIGHT, fill=Y, expand=NO)

scroll.configure(command=display.yview)
display.configure(yscrollcommand=scroll.set)

for item in fonts:
    display.insert(END, item)

root.mainloop()

After the above program is working, try this

1. Add "stuff" to the file and use pydoc to generate documentation.
