I am having trouble with changing the font in turtle. I want the font to be Comic Sans, but when I run this code the text is in Arial:

write("Turtle Racer", align="center", font=("Comic Sans", 80, "normal"))

What fonts are available for turtle?

    `turtle` uses `tkinter` behind the scenes. –  Jan 10 '18 at 18:21

This works on my system:

import turtle

turtle.write("Turtle Racer", align="center", font=("Comic Sans MS", 80, "normal"))

turtle.done()

And is consistent with the family name returned by the code @hop left a link to in the comments.

to use a font, it has to be the name as seen in say - word, so as opposed to Comic Sans, it would be, as previously stated - comic Sans MS

The below code works in my system. I have included the screen class to help visualize and for you to test it out.

from turtle import Turtle, Screen

screen = Screen()
t = Turtle()
t.hideturtle()
t.write(arg="Your Text", align="left", font=("Comic Sans", 10, "normal"))

screen.exitonclick()

If I see your code, you may have missed to call the object on which the write method is being called.
