freetypy.Face¶

class freetypy.Face¶

Models a given typeface, in a given style.

Parameters:	file (path, or readable file-like object) – The file containing the face data. face_index (int, optional) – The index of the face within the font. The first face has index 0.
Returns:	face
Return type:	Face instance

__init__()¶: x.__init__(...) initializes x; see help(type(x)) for signature
