How do I create font style and font size in my notepad?

Time：09-28

I have created a notepad using python. I want to create a feature which can change the font size and also the font style. I have tried various options but they have failed. My notepad is fully made up with python's tkinter module. I have also tried methods like file handling but it doesn't work. Please help me out. Here is the code:

from tkinter import *
import tkinter.messagebox as mb
from tkinter.filedialog import askopenfilename, asksaveasfilename
import os

def newFile():
    global file
    root.title("Untitled - Notepad")
    file = None
    textArea.delete(1.0, END)
def openFile():
    global file
    file = askopenfilename(defaultextension=".txt", filetypes=[("All Files", "*.*"), ("Text Documents", "*.txt")])
    if file == "":
        file = None
    else:
        root.title(os.path.basename(file)   " - Notepad")
        textArea.delete(1.0, END)
        f = open(file)
        textArea.insert(1.0, f.read())
        f.close()
def save():
    global file
    if file == None:
        file = asksaveasfilename(initialfile="Untitled.txt", defaultextension=".txt", filetypes=[("All Files", "*.*"), ("Text Documents", "*.txt")])
        if file == "":
            file = None
        else:
            f = open(file, "w")
            f.write(textArea.get(1.0, END))
            f.close()

            root.title(os.path.basename(file)   " - Notepad")

    else:
        f = open(file, "w")
        f.write(textArea.get(1.0, END))
        f.close()
def quitFile():
    root.destroy()
def cut():
    textArea.event_generate(("<<Cut>>"))
def copy():
    textArea.event_generate(("<<Copy>>"))
def paste():
    textArea.event_generate(("<<Paste>>"))
def changeStyle():
    pass

    Entry(TextSize, textvariable=size, font="lucida 15").pack(padx=40)
    Button(TextSize, text="Apply", command=changeSize).pack()

    TextSize.mainloop()

Creating fonts, colors with various styles is achieved by creating tag names and defining tag attributes to them, then using those tag names when inserting text into Text object.

Here is an example.

import tkinter as tk

master = tk.Tk()

text = tk.Text(master, undo = 1)
text.grid(row = 0, column = 0, sticky = tk.NSEW)


#
# make tag name with any letter or word
# Use tag_config to define all required attributes
# Use tag_add to create it
# Apply tag name with insert(pos, message, tag) format
#

text.tag_config( "A", font = "Consolas 12 italic", foreground = "red")
text.tag_add("A", "end")
text.insert( "end", "This is in Font consolas 12 italic. color = red\n",  "A" )

text.tag_config( "B", font = "Consolas 12 overstrike", foreground = "Blue")
text.tag_add("B", "end")
text.insert( "end", "This is in Font consolas 12 overstrike. color = blue\n",  "B" )

text.tag_config( "C", font = "Times 20 bold", foreground = "green")
text.tag_add("C", "end")
text.insert( "end", "This is in Font Times 20 bold. color = green\n",  "C" )

text.tag_config( "D", font = "Times 20 normal", foreground = "black", background = "yellow")
text.tag_add("D", "end")

# Using some of the thousands of characters in python fonts
for a in ["♔", "♕", "♖", "♗", "♘", "♙", "♚", "♛", "♜", "♝", "♞", "♟"]:
    text.insert( "end", a, "D")

master.mainloop()

The below modification of your code shows how to change the font of your notepad application. It uses the tkinter.font class which when updated, will change the text everywhere a font of that type has been used.

from tkinter import *
import tkinter.messagebox as mb
from tkinter.filedialog import askopenfilename, asksaveasfilename
from tkinter.font import Font
import os

font_size = 12
font_family = 'lucida'


def newFile():
    global file
    root.title("Untitled - Notepad")
    file = None
    textArea.delete(1.0, END)
def openFile():
    global file
    file = askopenfilename(defaultextension=".txt", filetypes=[("All Files", "*.*"), ("Text Documents", "*.txt")])
    if file == "":
        file = None
    else:
        root.title(os.path.basename(file)   " - Notepad")
        textArea.delete(1.0, END)
        f = open(file)
        textArea.insert(1.0, f.read())
        f.close()
def save():
    global file
    if file == None:
        file = asksaveasfilename(initialfile="Untitled.txt", defaultextension=".txt", filetypes=[("All Files", "*.*"), ("Text Documents", "*.txt")])
        if file == "":
            file = None
        else:
            f = open(file, "w")
            f.write(textArea.get(1.0, END))
            f.close()

            root.title(os.path.basename(file)   " - Notepad")

    else:
        f = open(file, "w")
        f.write(textArea.get(1.0, END))
        f.close()
def quitFile():
    root.destroy()
def cut():
    textArea.event_generate(("<<Cut>>"))
def copy():
    textArea.event_generate(("<<Copy>>"))
def paste():
    textArea.event_generate(("<<Paste>>"))

If I were to write this application myself, I'd use a more object oriented approach but your method works.

The same approach that I have used to change the font size, will also work for the font family.
