  • [FontDescription] Add an font path

    From jeremie bergeron@21:1/5 to All on Tue Dec 13 12:12:23 2022
    Feature Request
    I think it would be usefull if the FontDescription would contain the path to the font: https://tcl.tk/man/tcl/TkCmd/font.htm#M13

    With it, we can use many software like fonttools in python to obtain more information about the font.
    It is usefull because the FontDescription is very limited.


    In which case this feature is usefull?
    1. When you know a font name and need more information (ex: with glyph the font contain, information in the NamingTable, etc…), but you doesnt know it’s location on the drive.
    2. When you wanna get all the font with the same characteristic.
