Adding Downloaded Fonts To Tkinter

Question

I want to download an open source font and use it in my Python Tkinter Program.

How can I tell Tkinter to import a font from a directory or by putting the font in the same folder as the program ?

Note: I have searched for an answer for a while even reading API reference of Tkinter about every font related thing I could find. If there was an obvious answer to this question and I didn't know because maybe I didn't search hard enough or asked the wrong questions I am sorry.

Answer 1

This worked for me on Windows (and I would guess on any platform which supports the pyglet module)

import tkinter as tk
import pyglet, os

pyglet.font.add_file('myFont.ttf')  # Your TTF file name here

root = tk.Tk()
MyLabel = tk.Label(root,text="test",font=('myFont',25)) 

MyLabel.pack()
root.mainloop()
