Where do I find what colors and fonts are available?

[SeeBelow@SeeBelow.Nut]

I'm learning Tkinter, from Grayson's book and some online sources.

I don't know how to find out which color names and font names are
available on my system. I'm using Windows 2000. I assume that info is
in some file or files somewhere, buy I don't know the file name or
directory.

Thanks,

Mitchell Timin

I searched my python directory for files including "darkblue"
and found two text files in <pythondir>\Too ls\Pynche with interesting
lists: webcolors.txt and rgb.txt (as well as some good stuff from
reportlab and wxPython, which you probably don't have loaded).

I'd search for *.ttf (a particular kind of font file), and look at the
directories where several of these show up. This is, of course, a Win2K
rather than Python Question. On my installation, the fonts are in
C:\WINNT\Fonts.

Mitchell ....

For a list of fonts in Tkinter,
you might try ....

import Tkinter
import tkFont

root = Tkinter.Tk()

list_fonts = list( tkFont.families () )

list_fonts.sort ()

for this_family in list_fonts :

print this_family


For a list of colors in Tkinter
check the list at ....
