fonts
Allows importing custom fonts and use them with Text.font_family or apply to the entire
app via theme.font_family .
The following font formats can be used with Flet:
.ttc
.ttf
.otf
The value of fonts property is a dictionary where key is the font family name to refer that
font and the value is the URL of the font file to import.
Font can be imported from external resource by providing an absolute URL or from application
assets by providing relative URL and assets_dir .
Specify assets_dir in flet.app() call to set the location of assets that should be
available to the application. assets_dir could be a relative to your main.py directory or an
absolute path. For example, consider the following program structure:
/assets
/fonts
/OpenSans-Regular.ttf
main.py
Now, the following program loads "Kanit" font from GitHub and "Open Sans" from the assets.
"Kanit" is set as a default app font and "Open Sans" is used for a specific Text control:
import flet as ft
def main(page: ft.Page):

page.fonts = {
"Kanit": "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/google/fonts/master/
"Open Sans": "/fonts/OpenSans-Regular.ttf"
}
page.theme = Theme(font_family="Kanit")
page.add(
ft.Text("This is rendered with Kanit font"),
ft.Text("This is Open Sans font example", font_family="Open Sans")
)
ft.app(target=main, assets_dir="assets")
NOTE
At the moment only static fonts are supported, i.e. fonts containing only one spacific
width/weight/style combination, for example "Open Sans Regular" or "Roboto Bold Italic".
Variable fonts support is still work in progress.
However, if you need to use a variable font in your app you can create static
"instantiations" at specific weights using fonttools, then use those:
fonttools varLib.mutator ./YourVariableFont-VF.ttf wght=140 wdth=85
To explore available font features (e.g. possible options for wght ) use Wakamai Fondue
online tool.
