Jimp: Loading fonts from a CDN throws Unsupported MIME application/xml

[Favna]

Expected Behavior

Font will load correctly using Jimp.loadFont('url-to-font'). Specifically when that URL references a file that is on Google Cloud Storage / Firebase Storage.

Current Behavior

Application crashes throwing the error:

Failure Information (for bugs)

Steps to Reproduce

Example code based on README for @jimp/plugin-print

import Jimp from 'jimp';

async function main() {
  const ASSET_BASE_PATH = 'https://storage.googleapis.com/data-sunlight-146313.appspot.com';
  const font = await Jimp.loadFont(`${ASSET_BASE_PATH}/ribbon/fonts/roboto-large.fnt`);
  const image = await Jimp.read(1000, 1000, 0x0000ffff);

  image.print(font, 10, 10, 'Hello World!');
}

main();

The fnt file references this image as its file: https://storage.googleapis.com/data-sunlight-146313.appspot.com/ribbon/fonts/roboto-large.png

The fnt file can be downloaded by going to: https://storage.googleapis.com/data-sunlight-146313.appspot.com/ribbon/fonts/roboto-large.fnt

Context

• Jimp Version: 0.6.0
• Operating System: MacOS Mojave
• Node version: 11.4.0

Note that the code was run in a TypeScript based project, however this should hardly matter in the grand scheme of things.

Commenting to check if this is still going to be looked into. It's been a long while since the label was assigned.

Would give it a shot myself but despite my JS knowledge I just cannot wrap my head around the font loading code :\

I'll try to take a look this week! Being the only maintainer on this project is lonely 😢

Haven't really looked into this since the last bump but I assume it hasn't been resolved so bumping it again

Hello, I was trying to import a custom font when it gave me this same problem, after a while trying I got it solved by removing this line from the beginning of the file:

I tried with your font and the problem seems to be the same...

I hope this helps you to solve this issue...
