[solved] Adding fonts...?

EDIT: Fixed in 0.14.3
I'm trying to add a new font (an fontello .ttf icon font) so that I can display nicely scalable icons on buttons (eg. a cog on a settings button).
Looking at core/prototypes/fonts.lua....
Code: Select all
data:extend(
{
{
type = "font",
name = "default",
from = "default",
size = 14
},
etc.....
How is "default" associated with the actual .ttf file on disk? There doesn't seem to be anything that links the file name to the font prototype.
If I want to add a new font, is there something I need to do to make it available in the prototype?

From Rseding91 on IRC:
fonts are linked to the .ttf files through locale
Look at data\locale\en\core.cfg [font]
Which looks like this:
Code: Select all
[font]
default=fonts/TitilliumWeb-Regular.ttf
default-semibold=fonts/TitilliumWeb-SemiBold.ttf
default-bold=fonts/TitilliumWeb-Bold.ttf
And there was much rejoicing!

There is currently a blocking bug preventing custom fonts from being used:

Update for 1.1 (and some earlier)
data.lua
Code: Select all
data:extend(
{
{
type = "font",
name = "myfont14",
from = "myfont", --> locale/_language_/info.json
size = 14
}
}
locale/_language_/info.json
Code: Select all
{
"language-name": "English",
"font": {
"myfont":
[
"__core__/fonts/NotoMono-Regular.ttf",
"__core__/fonts/NotoSans-Regular.ttf",
"__core__/fonts/NotoSansCJKtc-Regular.ttf",
"__core__/fonts/NotoSansThai-Regular.ttf",
"__core__/fonts/NotoSansArabic-Regular.ttf",
"__core__/fonts/NotoSansHebrew-Regular.ttf",
"__core__/fonts/DejaVuSansMono.ttf"
]
}
}
Refer to data/core/locale/_language_/info.json for examples.
