Roboto Font

[Leandro Davila]

How to use Roboto font in Kivy ? I have downloaded the .ttf files in Google fonts, but I don't know how ( and where ) to install it. 

thanks

You don't need to install it. Place in a subfolder and use the LabelBase,register function to register it in kivy.

https://kivy.org/docs/api-kivy.core.text.html?highlight=labelbase#kivy.core.text.LabelBase.register

ps. In kivy 1.10.0, Roboto is the default?

It seems the default is DroidSans .

You need to place it in a Kivy subfolder ?

This is the code I'm using : 

#File : main.py 

import kivy 

from kivy.app import App 

from kivy.uix.label import Label 

from kivy.core.text import LabelBase

from kivy.core.window import Window 

from kivy.utils import get_color_from_hex

Window.clearcolor = get_color_from_hex('#101216')

class ClockApp(App): 

pass 

if __name__ == '__main__':

ClockApp().run() 

###The kivy file : 

#File : clockapp.kv 

#:kivy 1.10.0

BoxLayout:

orientation: 'vertical'

Label:

font_name: 'Roboto'

text:'[b]00[/b]:00:00'

markup : True

font_size: 70

It does not HAVE to be in a subfolder, just somewhere accessible. So,

from kivy.core.text import LabelBase
LabelBase.register('Roboto',
                   'fonts/Roboto.ttf',
                   'fonts/RobotoOblique.ttf',
                   'fonts/RobotoBold.ttf',
                   'fonts/FreeSansBoldOblique.ttf')

Would allow your code above to work if the above listed fonts are in the paths specified i.e. a "fonts" subfolder.
