Default param for text_font

[cpirnat]

Currently text_font on PyPortal class is set to None. Is there a chance we could utilize termalio font for a default font?

What is the issue you are trying to solve? Please give a code example of what you are trying to do that isn't working

This would assist the helper library in be able to write text to display without the need of manually importing a font by the end user.

That seems useful; can you give a mock example of how you would like it to work? What specific code do you have in mind to write that won't work as is?

text_font takes a string path to a font file which terminalio.FONT is not, so it would not be as simple as adding a default value.

hi @cpirnat Are you still planning on working on this?

I implemented this in the MatrixPortal library, so adding it to here should be pretty straightforward. In fact, I may have done this already on a PyPortal and have it floating around somewhere. I think there were only a handful of places special cases needed to be addressed.

Ah yes, I found it. :)
