class spyder.api.fonts.SpyderFontType

This enum is meant to be used to get the QFont object corresponding to each type. These are:

• Interface is used by the entire Spyder application

• MonospaceInterface is used, for instance, by the Variable Explorer and corresponds to the Monospace font resized to look good together with the Interface font.

The values names in this enum are a result of historical reasons that date from Spyder 2 and are not easy to change now.
