looks like we're not including this license file with the sdists.

I can't find that license in the matplotlib repo...

not sure what the difference between looking at the rest of the class, it's clear that fname and name is.fname is the filepath and name is the font name. Would it be possible to rename fname to filepath or will that break backwards compatibility?

🤷♂️ This one is probably OK. I don't think any external code is dealing directly with FontEntry instances.

Is it necessary to specify that this function only handles fontext - ttf and afm? Or does it also implicitly handle looking at more code in this module, looks like ttc font files?ttf and ttc are handled by the same function

I don't think so. This function is decidedly internal to the font manager.

correct me if im wrong but it looks like this module has two distinct functions - FontEntry and the code to create FontEntry instances from font files and the code to scan system fonts.
Is it overkill to split these two functions into separate modules?

I'll look into this, but I won't do it in this PR.

im not entirely sure what's a generic platform - does generic here mean linux?

Generic unix? Anything not macOS or Windows with X11, basically. That could be a lot of platforms, but in practice it's linux and freebsd (and solaris?).

There's more to come here, so I'm going to merge now and keep moving. Thanks for the feedback! |

moved this from Done
to Sprint 4 : March 1 - March 12 2021
in Enthought OSS Q1 2021
NOTE: This does not yet modify the behavior of
FontManager.This PR is intended to isolate the font file scanning code currently in
kiva.fonttools.font_managerand cover it with tests. In a future PR, we'll actually start using this code.Tangentially related to #391 and #555
