Jupyter-themes: How to use custom .ttf files for fonts?

[tanmay7270]

I tried adding the .ttf files to "fonts" directories. It would be great if I could just add the files following the correct folder structure and nomenclature and just use it.

Log:
One of the fonts you requested is not available
Setting all fonts to default
Traceback (most recent call last):

You can use only the fonts that are shipped with jt unless you are willing to patch its source code.

If you have such a determination, you have to find, in stilefx.py, the definition of the function stored_font_dicts and add your custom fonts in the data structure fonts, where the key is the name you use on the command line and the value contains the font name as used in the generated CSS and the subdirectory where the font is stored. CAVEAT I never tried that myself, have a backup...
