Kivy Display Chinese

Recently in learning Kivy, practice writing demo when found Chinese can not be displayed correctly, online query said to specify the font can be found in the OS X font Library directory

/system/library/fonts, you can directly use the Chinese font such as, bold: ' Stheiti MEDIUM.TTC ', in the code used as follows:

Self.add_widget (Label (text= ' username: ', font_name= ' Stheiti MEDIUM.TTC '))

If you do not want to use the font of the system, but want to use the font you specify, you can use the following method


1. Specify the path where the font library is located

Kivy.resources.resource_add_path ("/usr/share/fonts/truetype/")

2. Define variable names for font libraries

Font_heiti = Kivy.resources.resource_find ("Xxxx.ttf")

3. Can be set directly by variable name when using

Self.add_widget (Label (text= ' username: ', font_name=font_heiti))
