How to change fontsize in excel using python

Question

I have to create a content with font as Times New Roman and font size as 16.How to create using python script ?

My sample script

import xlwt
workbook = xlwt.Workbook(encoding = 'ascii')
worksheet = workbook.add_sheet('My Worksheet')
font = xlwt.Font() # Create the Font
font.name = 'Times New Roman'
style = xlwt.XFStyle() # Create the Style
style.font = font # Apply the Font to the Style
worksheet.write(0, 0, label = 'Unformatted value')
worksheet.write(1, 0, label = 'Formatted value') # Apply the Style to the Cell
workbook.save('fontxl.xls')

Answer 1

You set the font's height in "twips", which are 1/20 of a point:

font.height = 320 # 16 * 20, for 16 point

Answer 2

Although the comment says that you do, you don't actually apply the style you defined!
Use the style keyword in the write() call:

worksheet.write(1, 0, label = 'Formatted value', style = style) # Apply the Style

Answer 3

just add this

style = xlwt.easyxf('font: bold 1,height 280;')

Answer 4

style0 = xlwt.easyxf('font: bold 1,height 260, name Times New Roman, color-index red')
