Multiple Fonts

Example demonstrating the capabilities of text to be rendered in multiple different fonts.

from rendercanvas.auto import RenderCanvas, loop
import pygfx as gfx

from datetime import datetime

now = datetime.now()
text = now.strftime("%H:%M:%S")

material = gfx.TextMaterial(
    color="#B4F8C8", outline_color="#000", outline_thickness=0.15
)

text_noto = gfx.Text(
    text="Noto Sans: " + text,
    # family="Noto Sans",
    material=material,
)
text_noto.local.position = (0, -40, 0)

text_humor = gfx.Text(
    text="Humor Sans: " + text,
    family="Humor Sans",
    material=material,
)
text_humor.local.position = (0, 0, 0)

text_instructions = gfx.Text(
    text="Click to update the clock",
    material=material,
)
text_instructions.local.position = (0, 40, 0)

scene = gfx.Scene()
scene.add(text_noto, text_humor, text_instructions)
camera = gfx.OrthographicCamera(400, 300)
renderer = gfx.renderers.WgpuRenderer(RenderCanvas(size=(800, 600)))


@renderer.add_event_handler("pointer_down")
def change_text(event):
    now = datetime.now()
    text = now.strftime("%H:%M:%S")
    text_noto.set_text("Noto Sans: " + text)
    text_humor.set_text("Humor Sans: " + text)
    renderer.request_draw()


renderer.request_draw(lambda: renderer.render(scene, camera))
