Is it possible to use the current system font in a widget? #257

Closed strafe closed 4 years ago

strafe commented 4 years ago

Currently I'm bundling my own fonts with the widget. Is it possible to use whichever font has been chosen with A-Font, Snowboard, etc. for text in the widget?

That’ll be something to implement yourself. You’d have to ensure the font-family CSS property is set as

font-family: -apple-system;

For custom user fonts to apply. If you want to also have the option for using your bundled fonts, then you’d need to set this at runtime via JavaScript.

@Matchstic thanks for the heads up. I gave this a go with -apple-system as the font family, but it always uses the system's stock font regardless of whether it's been changed using A-Font or Snowboard.

Something interesting was that if I enabled A-Font's WebKit injection, the font did apply. I'm assuming there's nothing I can really do to improve that functionality but thought I'd ask regardless.

Ah, thanks for posting your findings.

That does sound about right, the WebKit injection from A-Font would be needed to change the system default font in a widget.
