Add custom font

[camcd93]

I am trying to add a custom font.
So if I do something like:

buffer.set_text(
                font_system,
                "my text",
                Attrs::new()
                    .family(
                        FontFamily::Name(name) => Family::Name("MY_CUSTOM_FONT_NAME"),
...

it will load the "MY_CUSTOM_FONT_NAME" and use it when rendering "my text".

Appreciate any responses.

Found the answer. It is more to do with cosmictext than glyphon.

1. Get the FontSystem
2. Get the FontDict from the FontSystem
3. The FontDict will have a couple methods to load fonts on it that are public. The only one you should use though is load_fonts_dir. The rest may load the font but won't register it to be accessible by glyphon.

So if I have a directory like:

fonts/MyCustomFont

• MyCustomFontVariable.ttf
• static/
  -- MyCustomFontItalic.ttf
  -- MyCustomFontRegular.ttf
  -- etc...

let font_dict = self.font_system.db_mut();
font_dict.load_fonts_dir("fonts/MyCustomFont");
