Custom fonts about egui HOT 7 CLOSED

It would probably be some time here too. I'll post here if/when I pick it up! Thanks for the great suggestion!

Hello!

There are (at least) two separate issues here:

A) Being able to override the default fonts used by Egui
B) Being able to add additional user fonts

Egui should definetly support both! I think A) is probably the first priority. In this case, maybe what you really wanted to do is to change TextStyle::Monospace to use Mononoki, so A) would have indeed solved it.

There is some design work to be done here before we start coding.

Let's start with thinking about A). We could start by having FontDefinitions contain a map from FontFamily to the TTF font data (e.g. as a ttf: HashMap<FontFamily, Vec<u8>> member). FontDefinitions::default() could use the default fonts, but you could then override it as such:

let mut fonts = egui::paint::FontDefinitions::default();
fonts.ttfs[FontFamily::Monospace] = include_bytes!("mononoki.ttf").to_vec();
ctx.set_fonts(fonts);

What do you think, is something like that a good start?

Greetings!

What you proposed looks perfect! It would cover my needs completely.

I agree there's multiple things "custom font support" could mean and focussing on being able to swap the default fonts for user-specified ones is a great start.

Let me know if you start working on this, otherwise I'll get to it... some time? :)

This is awesome, thank you so much!

This doesn't work...

@Eskerepvp it's because you are reading a two year old issue instead of the latest documentation.
