By default, an List uses the same font as its parent widget
List.font read/write property
Get the List font, a string value that represent the font name.
To set the List.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 List.fontstyle and the List.fontsize properties).
Example
local ui = require "ui"
-- create a simple window
local win = ui.Window("List.font sample", 320, 200)
local list = ui.List(win, {'Item 1', 'Item 2'}, 30, 50)
list.fontsize = 12
list.width = 260
list.items[1].text = "Hello World in '"..list.font.."' "..list.fontsize.."px"
win:show()
-- update the user interface until the user closes the Window
repeat
ui.update()
until not win.visible
