Fontina make your fonts ready for @font-face!
Fontina generates .ttf, .otf, .svg, .woff, .eot fonts from a font supported by fontforge.
A stylesheet will be created as well.
Before using fontina you need to install:
- Fontforge: http://fontforge.sourceforge.net/
- ttf2eot: http://code.google.com/p/ttf2eot/)
Install it:
npm install --save grunt-fontina
Write this:
var fontina = require('fontina');
var options = {};
fontina('./fonts/font.ttf', './public/fonts', options);
Fontina will do the rest.
The options object can be configured as follow:
{
force: false, // if true the file extension won't be checked
output: false, // if true the output from the tool will be printed
error: false, // if true the errors from the tool will be printed
cwd: null // current directory from which the tools are run
}
Install grunt-fontina to automate your workflow.
npm install --save grunt-fontina
Load a new task in your Gruntfile.js:
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-fontina');
Add a configuration block for fontina:
fontina: {
fonts: {
src: './fonts', // Source directory
dest: './public/fonts', // Output directory
options: { // Fontina options object
output: true
}
}
}
I've always hated using an external service just to get my font ready.
It breaks your workflow and you have to do it every time you add a font.
