YAD Font selector output values [SOLVED]

[Argolance]

Bonjour,
Is it possible to get the output font name, font style and font size separately using YAD font selector?

Code: Select all

yad --font

Not so hard to get the font size, more to get the style when both Italic/Bold selected and very much more when the font has such a name:

Schadow BlkCn BT Bold Italic 10

Cordialement.

Code: Select all

#! /bin/bash

yad --font | while read line; do
STL=`echo $line | grep -o "Bold\|Italic\|Oblique\|Condensed\|Medium"` #Might need to add more styles
STYLE=`echo $STL`
SIZE=`echo $line | awk '{print $NF}'`

if [ "$STYLE" = "" ]; then
NAME=`echo $line | awk -F"$SIZE" '{print $1}'`
else
NAME=`echo $line | awk -F"$STYLE" '{print $1}'`
fi

echo $NAME
echo $STYLE
echo $SIZE

done

Thank you!
For these lines to work properly, it is necessary to list all the available styles like 'normal', 'book', 'demi', 'roman', 'medium', 'gras', 'italique', 'regular' and who knows what else...
I already tested similar things but it is not exactly what I am looking for: I thought it might be possible to do this more "properly" using internal YAD options and simply get something like:

Schadow BlkCn BT|Bold Italic|10

... regardless the font name or style complexity...

If YAD does not allow such a trick, I am very surprised and really think it should!

Cordialement.

Bonjour,
I took the liberty of asking the question to the YAD developper and he gave the response:

no, this is impossible right now.
but i think this may be usefull, so i'll add such output in next release
