Font Attributes

You can inspect the font fields like this:

f = gint.font(...)
print(f.line_height)
print(f.glyph_width)

Attribute	Type	Description
prop	int	0 = monospaced, 1 = proportional
line_height	int	Total vertical space for each line
data_height	int	Pixel height of glyphs
block_count	int	Number of glyph encoding blocks
glyph_count	int	Total number of characters
char_spacing	int	Space between characters
line_distance	int	Additional line spacing
blocks	bytes	Glyph block map
data	bytes	Glyph bitmap data
width	int	(Mono) Width of each character
storage_size	int	(Mono) Size of bitmap data
glyph_index	bytes	(Prop) Glyph lookup table
glyph_width	bytes	(Prop) Per-glyph widths

Mono vs Proportional Fonts

• Monospaced fonts need width and storage_size.
• Proportional fonts use glyph_index and glyph_width.

Example: Print Metadata

print("height:", font_shmup.line_height)
print("monospaced?" if font_shmup.prop == 0 else "proportional")
