Introduction
21
21
============
22
-
22
+
23
23
This is a collection of fonts that can be used by PyMuPDF applications for writing text to PDFs.
24
-
24
+
25
25
The fonts are provided encoded in compressed base64 format, wrapped as Python variables.
26
-
27
-
The primary motivation for this approach is two-fold: (1) keep the PyMuPDF binary module size within reasonable limits and (2) enable inclusion of fonts not supported by the MuPDF library. We may extend this repository with Google's NOTO fonts.
28
-
29
-
To use a certain font, its corresponding Python value is imported, which automatically decompresses and decodes the font's binary image into a ``bytes`` object. This value can then be used as a fontbuffer by any PyMuPDF method which needs a font.
30
-
31
-
Currently the following fonts made by Mozilla are provided:
32
-
* **FiraGO** font family, sans serif **proportional** fonts with support for 68 languages and the following scripts: Latin, Cyrillic, Greek, Arabic, Hebrew, Thai, Georgian and Devanagari. Support for the variants Regular, Bold, Ialic and Bold-Italic. Use this font as a viable "universal" alternative to the "Droid Sans Fallback Regular" font, which is included in the PyMuPDF package (embedded in the binary extension module).
33
-
* **FiraMono** font family, sans serif **mono-spaced** fonts with support for dozens of languages and the scripts Latin, Cyrillic, Greek. Supports the weights Regular and Bold (no Italic). Can be used instead of Courier for a nicer look.
34
-
* **Space Mono** (new in version 1.0.1) a nice and small-sized mono-spaced font family. Space Mono is an original fixed-width type family designed by Colophon Foundry for Google Design. It supports a Latin Extended glyph set, enabling typesetting for English and other Western European languages. Part of Google Fonts and also licensed by the `Open Font License <https://scripts.sil.org/cms/scripts/page.php?site_id=nrsi&id=OFL>`. Supports Regular, Bold, Italic and Bild-Italic.

The primary motivation for this approach is two-fold: (1) keep the PyMuPDF binary module size within reasonable limits and (2) enable inclusion of fonts not supported as part of PyMuPDF itself. We may extend this package with more Google's NOTO fonts and others over time.

It supports a Latin Extended glyph set, enabling typesetting for English and other Western European languages. Part of Google Fonts and also licensed under SIL OFL v1.1. Supports Regular, Bold, Italic and Bold-Italic.
34

* **NOTO Sans** -- Google font family similar to Helvetica. Supports Regular, Bold, Italic and Bold-Italic.
35
+
* **NOTO Music** -- Google font for musical symbols.
36
+
* **NOTO SANS Math** -- Google font for mathematical symbols.
37
+
* **NOTO Symbols** and **NOTO Symbols2** -- Google symbol fonts.
38
+
* **Ubuntu** font families, which provide sans-serif proportional and mono-spaced fonts with a look familiar to Ubuntu users. They are licensed under a slightly different license - see below - which nonetheless offers a similar degree of freedom as the OFL.

Usage and Documentation
42
46
========================
43
-
44
-
Using the fonts is documented in PyMuPDF.
45
-
47
+
48
+
How to use fonts in general is described in detail in the PyMuPDF documentation. The basic instruction is ``font = fitz.Font("key")``, where "key" is one of the Base-14 or CJK **font codes**, like "helv", "cour" or "cjk".
49
+
50
+
Once this package is installed, PyMuPDF makes these fonts automatically and seamlessly available as **additional font codes**, for example ``font = fitz.Font("figo")`` for "FiraGO Regular". You do not need to import this package separately yourself. To see a list of additionally available font codes, type ``print(fitz.fitz_fontdescriptors.keys())``.
51
+
52
+
But you can access font information of this package **also without PyMuPDF:** just ``import pymupdf_fonts``. Its dictionary ``fontdescriptors`` equals ``fitz_fontdescriptors`` above. For example, to access the fontfile's binary content of "FiraGO Regular", execute ``fontbuffer = pymupdf_fonts.fontbuffers["figo"]()`` (a bytes object).

If the package is installed, PyMuPDF supports all the fonts automatically. To use one of these fonts, simply execute ``font = fitz.Font("code")``, where ``code`` is a value from the first table column below. So this works as if the list of standard font codes ""helv", "tiro", "cour", etc. had been extended by new codes.

You can then either use the ``font`` object directly in PyMuPDF's ``TextWriter`` class, or use its buffer in the conventional `Page.insertFont()` / `Page.insertText()` / `Page.insertTextbox()` methods like this:
