Font support for Labels about tukaan HOT 9 CLOSED

I'm currently not able to implement it, but I think it's a good starting point for you.

It's basically just adding a font parameter to the __init__, and a key to _keys, and Tukaans' widget API does the rest for you.
You can see, how other parameters are implemented in label.py, and textbox.py specifically for font attributes.

@rdbende I added it as:

"font": tuple,
...
font: tuple | None = None,
...
font=font,

But this gives the error:

File "/Users/Moosems/Desktop/tukaan/tukaan/widgets/button.py", line 44, in __init__
    BaseWidget.__init__(
  File "/Users/Moosems/Desktop/tukaan/tukaan/widgets/_base.py", line 316, in __init__
    Tcl.call(None, self._tcl_class, self._name, *Tcl.to_tcl_args(**kwargs))
  File "/Users/Moosems/Desktop/tukaan/tukaan/_tcl.py", line 174, in call
    raise TclError(msg) from None
tukaan.exceptions.TclError: unknown option "-font"

tukaan.exceptions.TclError: unknown option "-font"

Nah, that is odd. I have to figure out why that happens, the manual page says that it works with Tk 8.5 and eith 8.6 as weel, so it shouldn't be an unknown option.

"font": tuple,
...
font: tuple | None = None,
...
font=font,

In my opinion, managing fonts in Tkinter is kinda inconvenient. You have to create tuples with some random str values, and just in the right order, and if you want to skip a property from that order, you have to use Tcl-like kwargs, and whatnot. Again, since explicit is better than implicit, Tukaan has a function, that generates this tuple for you, so you can simply use keyword arguments, and it will return a Tcl-compatible tuple. Its full signature is this: tuple[str | int | bool, ...].
The other thing that Tukaan has, is Font objects, that can be changed dinamically, so you can do

some_widget.font.bold = True

and it will change every associated widget's font to bold immediately. It's also possible to load a font from file woth them, so it gives you a lotta power.

As for _keys for the TextBox widget I defined the type as Font (the font object), but I forgot about the possibility to use the font() function. When using it, there's no Font object associated with the widget, so it can't really use that. Now I need to figure out, what should be that type, but you have to wait for that 😕.

{"font": ????}
...
font: Font | tuple[str | int | bool, ...] | None = None,  # You'll have to 'from tukaan.fonts import Font' first
...
font=font

Personally I really love the way that tkinter handles fonts for the user but I would like it if you didn't always have to give a size value. Tkinter is super flexible when it comes to fonts but I would also love it where it sturdy. I honestly really dislike making font objects and normally use
normal_font=("Courier New bold", 15)

@rdbende Any updates? I'm still hoping to fix this

Actually, I successfully implemented this today in the same way, so Idk what was the problem.

Can you create a release for me to test it with?

Soon!
