The name is set inside the font file. Your operating system's font
viewer shows it.
viewer shows it, though some add the style, such as
``"Grand Hotel, Regular"`` for a font named ``"Grand Hotel"``. If you're
not sure of the name, use the file's path as ``font_name`` instead.

Many free fonts, such as most on `Google Fonts <https://fonts.google.com/>`_,
use the SIL Open Font License, which lets you ship them with your game.
Include the font's license file with it. For more about fonts, see pyglet's
:doc:`text guide <pyglet:programming_guide/text>`.
