Hi, this capx doesn't work for me on Chrome; either on my Vista home PC or my W7 work laptop. It just displays the standard font. In fact I can't get Chrome to display any Web fonts most of the time. It seems slightly better on Firefox but still will sometimes just not work. I'm finding fonts with C2 very frustrating, are there no alternatives to using Web fonts?

There an issue if you enable WebGL, it won't show custom font.

Otherwise disable WebGL, it would work.

Ah OK thanks. Although that means if I want effects and performance improvements then I'm stuck with using horrible standard fonts. Does anyone know if this is a C2 issue or a problem elsewhere? No way at all to use custom fonts and WebGL together?

I�ve found that, it�s not like that at all.

If you have webGL enables, you don�t see custom webfont at the beginning, but try resizing the browser windows a couple of times and voil�, text boxes get their custom webfont.

So, I�m not sure if this is a bug related to the webGL plugin or something else, but it�s really anoying not to be able to use custom webfonts with webGL enables.

Maybe we can find a fix or at least, a patch.

add the custom font to your index.html aswel.

It is because the layout is loaded but the body uses another font. This is a small CSS thing of inheritance. So it will use the standard font untill you change your canvas size by expanding or minimizing your browser window. Or you put it on the body so it get's auto loaded.

I just did it for my game. undesign.be/X3

open your html file when exported.

add this line to your <head>

----------------------------------------------------------------

<link rel="stylesheet" href="stylesheet.css" type="text/css" charset="utf-8" />

----------------------------------------------------------------

Then add this to your Body{ } style

----------------------------------------------------------------

font-family: <name of your font>;

----------------------------------------------------------------

boom your font is there from the start of your game

It�s a quite clever workaround mrPeanut, thanks :).

I didn�t think about the exported game, my problem is in the preview, but at least, we have a solution for the exported one :) (not sure what will happen when we export to exe for example).

thanks —

Also a .exe is not realy conform with the rules of web css. So it will probably use the predeterment font.

As for preview do not set the font yet just type al lthe test in the font you want. And export implement the font. So you can set it right.
