Background
I have MaterialFX as an external dependency for my JavaFx project. The project tries to recreate the demo shown in the MaterialFX project. My project uses Gradle (build script in Kotlin).
The demo uses custom fonts provided in its resource path in a javaFxStylesheet.css file to style e.g. the JavaFX Labels:
/*javaFxStylesheet.css*/
#import '../fonts/Fonts.css';
.header {
-fx-font-family: <fontname>`
}
where Fonts.css has multiple entries like
/*Fonts.css*/
#font-face {
font-family: 'Comfortaa SemiBold';
font-weight: 600px;
font-style: normal;
font-display: swap;
src: url('../fonts/Comfortaa/Comfortaa-SemiBold.ttf') format('truetype');
}
Problem
The MaterialFX dependency I pull into my project has the used fonts in a separate folder but how to I use them in my project. As is visible from the demo Fonts.css (which I would like to simply copy into my project), the paths to the fonts e.g. url('../fonts/Comfortaa/Comfortaa-SemiBold.ttf') are specified relative the resources path.
Now, if I want to use the same fonts in my project without changing all the paths, I guess I need to
Copy the fonts-Folder manually from the externally pulled materialfx.jar into my own project resources
Have Gradle automatically do this
So I imagine I need something like the following in my build.gradle:
copy from external library 'materialfx-11.13.9.jar' the folder 'io/github/palexdev/materialfx/font'
into my own projects "src/main/resources"
Note - there seems to be a smiliar issue but I can't make it work as I have no clue if it even aims at the same thing I'm trying to acchieve.
I have a small Next.js app that uses a local #font-face. Everything works fine in the dev environment.
The font .woff file is stored in /public/webfonts. The #font-face import is in the globals.css file:
#font-face {
font-family: 'My Font';
src: local('My Font'), local('My-Font'),
url('../public/webfonts/My-Font.woff')
format('woff');
font-weight: normal;
font-style: normal;
}
I've deployed my app using the GitHub actions next.js workflow. The CSS and images are loaded fine but the font is not.
If I try to load the font with a path starting with '/' it throws a 404 error since the base URL is my-user.github.io and not my-user.github.io/my-repo.
If I try to load the font with a relative path it throws a CORS error.
I've searched online and found various answers recommending basically opposite solutions, but nothing works for me.
Anyone with any up-to-date info on how to tweak this issue?
I am trying (in vain) to get fonts working locally.
I have installed https://github.com/components/font-awesome and there is a line at the bottom of the page that states:
Here is the important part, the default font folder is on different path with the compiled bower file. We need to move the font from default font folder to the compiled bower folder (In the example vendor is the compiled folder).
Now I am using grunt, not gulp and I am also using the sass.
So, in my sass I have done this:
#import "../../bower_components/components-font-awesome/scss/fa-brands";
#import "../../bower_components/components-font-awesome/scss/fa-regular";
#import "../../bower_components/components-font-awesome/scss/fontawesome";
Which pulls in the correct fa fonts, etc.
Then following that text above I created a rule in my gruntfile that does this:
fonts: {
expand: true,
cwd: 'bower_components/components-font-awesome/webfonts/',
src: '*',
dest: '<%= yeoman.app %>/fonts'
}
But when I try to load my site using grunt serve -o I get this message:
Failed to decode downloaded font: http://localhost:9000/webfonts/fa-regular-400.woff2
So I can see it is looking in a different directory, so first of all I just added this to my sass:
$fa-font-path: "/fonts";
But that didn't work either.
So then I decided to change the copy rule to actually copy to /webfonts and still no icons were downloaded.
I have read some posts (with people with similar issues) and they have said the path was relative.
So I decided to copy the fonts and directories to everywhere they might need to be:
/webfonts
/assets/webfonts
/styles/webfonts
/fonts
Even doing that, no fonts are loaded.
Surely someone knows how to fix this?
I'm trying to figure out how to adapt a wrap bootstrap theme for use in Rails 4.
The theme uses simple-line-icons. I've tried to move those files to a font folder in my app/assets folder as well as to the css file in my vendor/assets/css folder and the js folder in my vendor/assets/javascript folder.
I don't understand how to rewrite paths in the css so as to reference the assets in a way that will get rails to read them.
For example, one of the css files includes the following:
#font-face {
font-family: 'Simple-Line-Icons';
src: url("../../fonts/Simple-Line-Icons.eot");
src: url("../../fonts/Simple-Line-Icons.eot?#iefix") format("embedded-opentype"), url("../../fonts/Simple-Line-Icons.woff") format("woff"), url("../../fonts/Simple-Line-Icons.ttf") format("truetype"), url("../../fonts/Simple-Line-Icons.svg#Simple-Line-Icons") format("svg");
font-weight: normal;
font-style: normal;
}
I understand that the url(../.. part is a problem for rails. What I can't figure out is how to solve it.
I have rails-12factor gem installed in my production environment. I've tried a million variations (shown in the rails guides), but I can't find anything that works.
Can anyone see what to do?
This article suggests not to include the 'fonts' folder in referencing vendor assets font files. https://gist.github.com/iamatypeofwalrus/6467148
I've tried including and excluding it but neither way works.
This article suggests that vendor file is not capable of storing fonts without amending the initialiser. I tried that but it doesnt work either.
Using fonts with Rails asset pipeline

HEROKU
I've now found this post, that suggests that for heroku compliance in production, I need to replace everything with asset path helpers and rename the files to add .erb to images and css and .coffee to js. Before I do this, can someone please confirm this is actually required, and how I would go about changing the above css file to comply with heroku requirements.

Actually any sub-directory added to assets directory is auto added to the load
paths. Files in those directories can be accessed as normal asset
files.
If you have
vendor/assets/fonts/Simple-Line-Icons.eot
then vendor/assets/fonts/ should be added to load paths.
Then you can add all font files to your css files with path : font/file_name
Remember to restart your server after this as load paths will reload after restarting the server.
You can see the list of load paths through rails console by following command :
Rails.application.config.assets.paths
You can add new load paths by following command :
config.assets.paths << Rails.root.join("vendor", "assets", "fonts")
OR to autoload : config.autoload_paths << Rails.root.join("vendor", "assets", "fonts")
I'm having trouble using #font-face with fonts located on my machine. My files aren't on a server yet. I'm trying to preview them offline, but they aren't loading.
Here is the code from the css file:
#font-face{
font-family:"chunk";
src: url('file:///C:/...Fonts/Chunkfive.otf');
}
div{
font-family:"chunk";
}
Has anyone had similar problems?
Include them in your site folder, and reference them as you do with images.
#pvenkat; if your font folder & css in same folder then just write this Fonts/Chunkfive.otf in your url path & if your css folder some other folder like in stylesheet folder then write ../Fonts/Chunkfive.otf in your path may be that's work for you.
