Vscode: Support temporarily installed fonts. (Win)

Created on 4 Dec 2015 · 3Comments · Source: microsoft/vscode

Please support font that loaded by the AddFontResource* function for the sake of the non-admin workers.
Along with the portable mode(#329) we may have, it helps a lot.

*It can be used to add font by non-admin user. (FYI1) (FYI2)

*out-of-scope feature-request upstream

We just ask Chromium to render the font. The only alternative would be to add support for dynamically injecting css @font-face

Thanks for your reply.

So it's Electron's job. Since Chromium itself can see those temporary fonts, There has to be a way.
