Is there a way to have fonts use styles ?

[Blindstars]

Hi,

I have been googling this for a while and found nothing. I am looking to make some Texts in Bold or Italic, etc.

Looking at the function "set_text_size" from "TextMixin" class, I see that it forces the use of "family" as the style.

Do we have options to set the style other than overriding TK directly ? I want to set all "default" text to bold for instance, would find it inefficient to override every widget...

Thanks !

Currently there is no way to set font weight in guizero.

I'm surprised it's not been requested as a feature before tbh.

I think the change would be to add a font_weight property to the TextMixin which set the appropriate cascade properties.

Yeah seems right,

I ended up patching the methods "set_text_size" and "set_font" from TextMixin with something along the lines of:

widget._set_tk_config("font", (f["family"], size, f["weight"]))

Did this using my own functions just after Guizero initialization in my program:

TextMixin.set_font = set_font
TextMixin.set_text_size = set_text_size

Since the project is not new and I seem to be the only one referring to this, I am guessing this would not be prioritized ? I can create an official issue / PR if required.

In any case, I got it working for what I needed to do.

Thanks.

Happy to accept a PR. In addition to modifying the TextMixin, the Container class would been modifying to cascade the values to child widgets i.e. https://github.com/lawsie/guizero/blob/master/guizero/base.py#L213
