Edit.font read/write property


Get the Edit font, a string value that represent the font name.

To set the Edit.font property, you can assign a string that represent either a font name of an installed system font, or a font file (*.ttf, *.fon...).
A File can also be provided, representing a font file.

Note that only the font family is changed. The font style and font size are not affected (see the Edit.fontstyle and the Edit.fontsize properties).

Example

local ui = require "ui" -- create a simple window local win = ui.Window("Edit.font sample", "fixed", 340, 230) local label = ui.Label(win, "Enter text : ", 10, 10) local edit = ui.Edit(win, "", label.x + label.width + 8, label.y) edit.font = "Times New Roman" edit.text = "Hello World in '"..edit.font.."' "..edit.fontsize.."px" win:show() -- update the user interface until the user closes the Window repeat ui.update() until not win.visible
