Needs more love #1

Closed thany closed 9 years ago

thany commented 9 years ago

It's a good start, but this extension needs a bit more love before it's fairly usable.

For starters:

I can privately send you some font files to test with, as the font files in question are commercial ones and shouldn't roam too freely ;)

But worse, I cannot edit an SVG at all now (I'm seeing just a loading animation, forever). So I have no choice but to uninstall this extension for now.

Thanks for the feedback, @thany

  • It doesn't pick up the theme colours

Done (commit 70b4cf9bf43681739a0939f30fd65b7ce092f946)

  • As for SVG fonts, they always display glyphs in the default font

  • Are these glyphs multicharacter glyphs? (Something like <glyph unicode="more than one character" ... >)

  • Are these glyphs shown correctly in Chrome?

  • I've got a icon font, generated with IcoMoon, that just doesn't load at all (the loader keeps animating forever)

Is it a ttf font? This extension uses ttf2svg to convert fonts to svg (so they can be parsed), but it doesn't work very well. I was thinking about supporting only svg fonts by default and let users to open other font files if they have FontForge - The best font converter I've ever seen - installed.

If it is a svg font, can you send it me? (You can get my email in my profile)

But worse, I cannot edit an SVG at all now (I'm seeing just a loading animation, forever)

  • Some TTF's display glyphs in the default Times New Roman font, instead of in the selected font

Fixed

  • As for SVG fonts, they always display glyphs in the default font

Fixed

  • Missing support for WOFF and EOT

Added support for WOFF and OTF fonts. I don't know how to add support for EOT fonts, because FontForge (which this extension uses) doesn't open them.
