Ability to set the default font

[Timmmm]

It should be possible to set a global default font, rather than having to explicitly set it in every Text object.

If that is already possible somehow then it should be documented, because I could figure it out even after reading the source code.

We currently don't have a mechanism for setting/changing default values; but you can always create a custom subclass

class MyText(Text):
    def __init__(self, *args, font=..., **kwargs):
        super().__init__(*args, font=font, **kwargs)

Also, feel free to join the discussion for a feature like that over at #2075.

Yeah unfortunately that still means I have to go around changing every Text. Thanks for the link to the PR though - I'll check it out.

You could do something like

OldText = Text
Text = NewText

after subclassing. Not pretty, not great to maintain, but it will work.

[Timmmm]

Yeah eek. It seems like some things like Integer don't even let you set the font anyway. Thanks for the suggestion though!

This seems like something #2075 would be perfect for :)
