@coremyslo/font-generator

A font generator library that takes a collection of icons and generates a custom font in different formats (SVG, TTF, WOFF, WOFF2, EOT).

Input should be based on icon-generator.

Installation

npm install @coremyslo/font-generator

Usage

import { FontGenerator } from "@coremyslo/font-generator";
import { IconGenerator } from "@coremyslo/icon-generator";

const iconGenerator = new IconGenerator("./path/to/icon/source/directory");
await iconGenerator.read();

const fontGenerator = new FontGenerator();
await fontGenerator.generate(iconGenerator.icons);
await fontGenerator.write("./path/to/target/directory");

API

class FontGenerator (options: Partial<Options> = {})

interface Options

• name: The name of the font and the generated font files. Default icon-font.
• unicode: The starting Unicode code point for the icon set. Default 0xE900.
• height: The height of the generated font. Default 1024.
• normalize: Normalize icons by scaling them to the height of the highest icon (see svgicons2svgfont). Default true.
• round: Setup SVG path rounding. (see svgicons2svgfont) Default 1.
• formats: An array of supported font formats. Default ["svg", "ttf", "woff", "woff2", "eot"].

async generate(icons: Map<string, Icon>): Promise<void>

• Generate the font files in memory for the specified icon collection. Caches the result, so calling again with the same icons retrieves the fonts from the cache.

async write(targetDirPath: string): Promise<void>

• Write the generated font files to the specified directory.

fonts: Map<string, Buffer>

• contains the generated font files in memory.
