Predefined Text Styles

[mozman]

When you create a new DXF document using ezdxf, no text styles are set up by default. To set up some predefined text styles, add the setup=True or setup=["textstyles"] argument:

import ezdxf

doc = ezdxf.new(setup=["textstyles"])
msp = doc.modelspace()

This will create the following predefined text styles:

The name of the text style is the name shown above. As with all table entries, the name is not case sensitive. The fonts will only display correctly if the fonts are installed on the target system and the DXF viewer or CAD application can find them.

msp.add_text("test", dxfattribs={"style": "OpenSansCondensed-Light"})
