Adding fonts #38

Closed Felwin closed 5 years ago

Felwin commented 6 years ago

I know I can include fonts inside SVG but what if I prefer to install the fonts ? How can I do that ? Do I need to install the fonts on the system ? on chromium ? inside the module ?

Thank you for your help

you can cheat a little and load the fonts like so

<svg>
    <defs>
      <style type="text/css">
      @import url('https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Roboto');
      </style>
    </defs>
</svg>

Just need to be able to point to the font from the svg, you could also install them on the system and access them directly.

Sorry for the super late response, but I feel that this is out of scope for this library. All packages support standard SVG rendering, exactly as it would appear in a Chrome browser. This means that anything that would apply to getting it to work in the browser, also applies here.

If you have any specific issues with a convert-svg-to-* package not using a font that you feel it should be, please raise a separate bug for that and it can be investigated, as that could be something specific to this tool.
