Class Details¶

class Pango.FontFace(**kwargs)¶

Bases:	`GObject.Object`
Abstract:	Yes
Structure:	`Pango.FontFaceClass`

The Pango.FontFace structure is used to represent a group of fonts with the same family, slant, weight, width, but varying sizes.

describe()[source]¶

Returns:	a newly-created `Pango.FontDescription` structure holding the description of the face. Use `Pango.FontDescription.free`() to free the result.
Return type:	`Pango.FontDescription`

Returns the family, style, variant, weight and stretch of a Pango.FontFace. The size field of the resulting font description will be unset.

get_face_name()[source]¶

Returns:	the face name for the face. This string is owned by the face object and must not be modified or freed.
Return type:	`str`

Gets a name representing the style of this face among the different faces in the Pango.FontFamily for the face. This name is unique among all faces in the family and is suitable for displaying to users.

get_family()[source]¶

Returns:	the `Pango.FontFamily`
Return type:	`Pango.FontFamily`

Gets the Pango.FontFamily that self belongs to.

New in version 1.46.

is_synthesized()[source]¶

Returns:	whether self is synthesized.
Return type:	`bool`

Returns whether a Pango.FontFace is synthesized by the underlying font rendering engine from another face, perhaps by shearing, emboldening, or lightening it.

New in version 1.18.

list_sizes()[source]¶

Returns:	location to store a pointer to an array of int. This array should be freed with `GLib.free`().
Return type:	sizes: [`int`]

List the available sizes for a font. This is only applicable to bitmap fonts. For scalable fonts, stores None at the location pointed to by sizes and 0 at the location pointed to by n_sizes. The sizes returned are in Pango units and are sorted in ascending order.

New in version 1.4.

do_describe() virtual¶

Returns:	a newly-created `Pango.FontDescription` structure holding the description of the face. Use `Pango.FontDescription.free`() to free the result.
Return type:	`Pango.FontDescription`

Returns the family, style, variant, weight and stretch of a Pango.FontFace. The size field of the resulting font description will be unset.

do_get_face_name() virtual¶

Returns:	the face name for the face. This string is owned by the face object and must not be modified or freed.
Return type:	`str`

Gets a name representing the style of this face among the different faces in the Pango.FontFamily for the face. This name is unique among all faces in the family and is suitable for displaying to users.

do_get_family() virtual¶

Returns:	the `Pango.FontFamily`
Return type:	`Pango.FontFamily`

Gets the Pango.FontFamily that face belongs to.

New in version 1.46.

do_is_synthesized() virtual¶

Returns:	whether face is synthesized.
Return type:	`bool`

Returns whether a Pango.FontFace is synthesized by the underlying font rendering engine from another face, perhaps by shearing, emboldening, or lightening it.

New in version 1.18.

do_list_sizes() virtual¶

Returns:	location to store a pointer to an array of int. This array should be freed with `GLib.free`().
Return type:	sizes: [`int`]

List the available sizes for a font. This is only applicable to bitmap fonts. For scalable fonts, stores None at the location pointed to by sizes and 0 at the location pointed to by n_sizes. The sizes returned are in Pango units and are sorted in ascending order.

New in version 1.4.
