yex.font.Default

yex.font.Default(name='tenrm')

Bases: yex.font.tfm.Tfm

The metrics for the font cmr10, hard-coded.

It exists because cmr10 is the default font, and every Document containing at least one symbol attempts to access it. So, if there's any problem loading the external file cmr10.tfm, every Document will break.

Just like the real font metrics, it doesn't contain the glyphs. If you look them up using the glyphs attribute, it will load them from cmr10.pk.

You can get hold of the singleton instance of this font using

Font.from_name(None)

If you do

Font.from_name("cmr10")

you will still get the metrics for cmr10.

At the end of this module, there is some code which loads the real cmr10.fnt and produces the values for this class. Its output will need some rearranging before it fits the actual code.

Attributes:

Name	Type	Description
name		the name of this font in the controls table. Defaults to "tenrm".
