""" Toolkit-independent font utilities.
Pyface fonts are intended to be generic, but able to be mapped fairly well
to most backend toolkit font descriptions. In most cases we can describe
fonts along the common dimensions that are used by CSS, Wx, and Qt. However
when it comes to actually working with a font, the toolkit needs to take the
description and produce something that is as close as possible to the
specification, but within the constraints of the toolkit, operating system
and available fonts on the machine where this is being executed.
Because of this inherent ambiguity in font specification, this system tries to
be flexible in what it accepts as a font specification, rather than trying to
specify a unique canoncial form.
Font Properties
---------------
The properties that fonts have are:
Font Family
A list of font family names in order of preference, such as "Helvetica"
or "Comic Sans". In the case of a font that has been selected by the
toolkit this list will have one value which is the actual font family name.
There are several generic font family names that can be used as fall-backs
in case all preferred fonts are unavailable. The allowed values are:
"default"
The application's default system font.
"fantasy"
A primarily decorative font, but with recognisable characters.
"decorative"
A synonym for "fantasy".
"serif"
A proportional serif font, such as Times New Roman or Garamond.
"roman"
A synonym for "serif".
"cursive"
A font which resembles hand-written cursive text, such as Zapf
Chancery.
"script"
A synonym for "cursive".
"sans-serif"
A proportional sans-serif font, such as Helvetica or Arial.
"swiss"
A synonym for "sans-serif".
"monospace"
A fixed-pitch sans-serif font, such as Source Code Pro or Roboto Mono.
Commonly used for display of code.
"modern"
A synonym for "monospace".
"typewriter"
A fixed-pitch serif font which resembles typewritten text, such as
Courier. Commonly used for display of code.
"teletype"
A synonym for "typewriter".
These special names will be converted into appropriate toolkit flags which
correspond to these generic font specifications.
Weight
How thick or dark the font glyphs are. These can be given as a number
from 1 (lightest) to 999 (darkest), but are typically specified by a
multiple of 100 from 100 to 900, with a number of synonyms such as 'light'
and 'bold' available for those values.
Stretch
The amount of horizontal compression or expansion to apply to the glyphs.
These can be given as a percentage between 50% and 200%, or by strings
such as 'condensed' and 'expanded' that correspond to those values.
Style
This selects either 'oblique' or 'italic' variants typefaces of the given
font family. If neither is wanted, the value is 'normal'.
Size
The overall size of the glyphs. This can be expressed either as the
numeric size in points, or as a string such as "small" or "large".
Variants
A set of additional font style specifiers, such as "small-caps",
"strikethrough", "underline" or "overline", where supported by the
underlying toolkit.
Font Specificiation Class
-------------------------
The Pyface Font class is a HasStrictTraits class which specifies a requested
font. It has methods that convert the Font class to and from a toolkit Font
class.
