Find list of all available fonts in Tkinter.
To find a list of all available fonts in Tkinter, you can use the tkFont module (in Python 2) or font module (in Python 3) to query the available font families. Here’s a Python 3 example that demonstrates how to retrieve and display the list of available fonts using Tkinter:
python
Copy code
import tkinter as tk
from tkinter import font
# Create a Tkinter root window
root = tk.Tk()
# Get a list of all available font families
fonts = font.families()
# Print the list of fonts
for f in fonts:
print(f)
# Optional: Keep the Tkinter window open (not necessary for just listing fonts)
root.mainloop()
Explanation:
tk.Tk(): Initializes the main application window, which is required to use Tkinter’s font functions.
font.families(): Returns a list of available font families on the current system.
print(f): Prints each font family to the console.
Running this script will print out the names of all fonts available in your system that Tkinter can use. If you only need to retrieve this list and don’t require a GUI window, you can remove or comment out the root.mainloop() line.
