Font

A Font is a TrueType or OpenType file a script imported, with import_font or an import of a .ttf or .otf file (see Fonts), to draw text in: text("KupCAD", size: 8, font: label). The embedded fonts need no Font: text() takes them by name (font: "sans"), see Sketches.

A Font can be a module’s export, so a project can keep its label font in one place.

puts and interpolation show a Font by its name, and inspect as #<Font Roboto Mono>.

name

Section titled “name”
font.name

The font’s full name, as its own name table gives it ("Roboto Mono"), or the file’s name for a font that gives none.

puts label.name      # Roboto Mono
puts label.inspect   # #<Font Roboto Mono>
tag = text("KupCAD", size: 8, font: label).extrude(1)
