Blink: Custom fonts don't work in latest TestFlight version 9.224 (1)

[fffergal]

First thing I noticed was my custom font wasn't being used. Checked the config and the font was listed. Tried toggling a few times but nothing changed. Tried deleting the font and adding it again, but still didn't change. When I installed the App Store version again, everything worked fine.

@Riprock can you share a link to your custom font?

[fffergal]

Yep, but you have to promise not to use it ‘cos it’s paid for. https://gist.githubusercontent.com/Riprock/c9c6270d9b5cd5962baf6ac8fe23f657/raw/e77e740536d346615fa4f281e93baa63cc7761c1/pragmatapro.css

I'm having this same behaviour, perhaps coincidentally with exactly the same font, although I've added it using the src: url('...', format('truetype')); syntax, instead of embedding the font data directly into the css file.

Going by my webserver logs, Blink downloads the css file, but never seems to download the font files themselves; it appears to display Menlo, when I try to use the font.

Importing "Anonymice" from the gallery appears to work, so I'm double-checking my css file for anything silly.

@Riprock
Ok, I don't know how it is working in app store version. Your css seems to be broken with n in base64 data.
I did join all the lines in one line and it works like a charm.

Actually if you have installed any font with ios profile (for example with Fonteer app) you can use simple css:

@font-face {
  font-family: 'Cutive Mono';
  src: local('Cutive Mono');
  font-weight: normal;
  font-style: normal;
}

Ah, did not know Blink was compatible with profile fonts now cool. Interesting about the new lines, worked the first time I tried it so didn't think more about it.

[yury]

@Riprock, @vectorstorm next version will allow you to select any monospaced font on you system without custom css.

[vectorstorm]

Sounds good; I'm looking forward to that!

[fffergal]

That would be brilliant!

[fffergal]

Yeah educated myself and really data URIs in CSS should have slashes before the new lines. Interesting it used to work, but maybe this shouldn't be called bug?

[yury]

@Riprock please test your font installed with profile (9.230). It should appear in fonts list now.

JFYI: There is script to generate css files for blink - https://github.com/zevlg/py-scripts/blob/master/gen-blink-font-css.py

@yury That's excellent, sorry I didn't try it before my TestFlight was being a bit slow. It works great!

[yury]

So, I think we can close this issue.

[yury]

@fffergal Sorry for offtopic, but what version of font you are using? Mono, Mono with liga, Not mono with liga?

[fffergal]

It's full Pragmata Pro mono (so no ligatures) but not with the bold and italic variants.
