I have installed some Google Skyfonts on my system since these fonts can be used for both desktop and web applications. Funny thing is that the skyfonts seem to work like normal fonts, showing up in font lists, etc., within Xojo or within my word processor. However, they are not included in the font() array and aren’t included in the FontCount number. Any suggestions on how to get them in there?
How did you install them ?
I used the installation utility at their skyfonts site: http://skyfonts.com/
The installed fonts seem to show up for everything but the fonts() array. By the way, I’m trying to use the graphics textwidth function to make a table of the widths of the characters, which I can then use to find the width and height of strings within my application. I realize you have a function for getting textwidths within your rubberviews program, but I haven’t been able to get that to work yet. Generating a width table is the only thing I can think to do at this point.
These are cloud fonts. They are not actually present in your Fonts folder, so even if they are shown to application, they are not technically installed the same way as other fonts.
You may want to see if you can find the same fonts in Google Fonts at https://www.google.com/fonts
These fonts can be downloaded as files from https://github.com/google/fonts/ where you can download the actual TTF files and install them like normal fonts. Then they will show up just fine.
Thanks, I will try that.
