how to add a font

[MACscr]

how do we add additional fonts? For example, I would love to have the google fonts collection available for use.

Having a feature to retain fonts in local storage sounds like a useful feature... Beyond NeiroNx's suggestion, would that meet your needs?

Btw, does anyone know anything about browser support with @font-face and SVG text?

Font files can be saved into IndexedDB. Adding font files also needs to consider pdf export.

[brettz9]

Yeah, IndexedDB does sound good--I was speaking more generically about "local storage" rather than localStorage. :) But all something someone else will probably have to implement :)

Adding fonts may be a useful feature. We would welcome a PR about this.

Any news on this feature?

Hello, I think we should look into this for version 7.5 (I can't give you a date).

Is there any updates on this? I'm trying to find a way to add a font manually.

[jfhenon]

The current way to do this is to modify lines 149,150 in TopPanel.html to add your own fonts:

 <!-- Font Size-->
    <se-select id="tool_font_family" label="properties.font_family_label"
options="properties.serif,properties.sans_serif,properties.cursive,properties.fantasy,properties.monospace,properties.courier,properties.helvetica,properties.times,properties.futura, properties.wingdings"
      values="Serif::Sans-serif::Cursive::Fantasy::Monospace::Courier::Helvetica::Times::Futura::Wingdings"></se-select>

You also need to add the translation of the font name in the locale folder (at least for english).

I just tested it and this seems to work correctly.

Today I discovered that it is now also possible to access local fonts.
