Thank you for adding this tip here for all Quasar dev! And nice ending screenshot

rashidnk

i copied font file to themes/fonts

//app.variables.styl
@font-face
font-family myfont
src url(fonts/Chilanka-Regular.ttf)

//Index.vue
<style>
.myclass {
font-family: myfont;
font-size: 30px
}
</style>

whe use my class to an element, the font does not change

This was caused by a typo, wasn’t it?

@Martin Thanks a lot! Do you know if this would also work out-of-the-box with other font files such as .woff or .otf?

arjanski

Answered the question myself: it works indeed! No other webpack configuration neccessary, at least for .woff.

Hi: Was trying this out, however, this seems to give a build error. This is what I have done:

I copied the fonts over to /themes/fonts/OpenSans.ttf

in the common.variables.styl file I have aaded the following:

@font-face
  font-family OpenSans
  src url(fonts/OpenSans.ttf)

During the build I get the following error:

 ERROR  Failed to compile with 2 errors                                                                                             11:07:04

This relative module was not found:

@venkyvb must be

@font-face
  font-family OpenSans
  src url(/fonts/OpenSans.ttf)

It works fine with the dev command, but when I execute the build command, the fonts stop working . Any idea @rstoenescu?

@israel965 I ran into the same problem. I finally got the fonts working in “build” distros by providing relative paths from quasar/.quasar

So instead of src url(/fonts/OpenSans.ttf)
try src url(../src/css/themes/fonts/OpenSans.ttf)
obviously, customize the path to your font files, but keep them relative, not absolute

I will note this is probably only a good idea for local apps such as electron or mobile apps. Webpack will rename font files, so that cached versions of the fonts cannot be used, which, for a web site, will slow down time to load the initial page significantly.

Thanks @Martin for posting this simple guide. I use this nice font installer https://github.com/lordgiotto/google-font-installer so using google fonts in QUasar is a breeze. Besides this I use excellent AI based https://fontjoy.com/ for font pairing, because I’m pretty talentless for font pairing
I think it is the same guy who stands behind http://colormind.io/ which is also an excellent AI based color palette generator.

Not working for me. I get the following error:

Module build failed (from ./node_modules/mini-css-extract-plugin/dist/loader.js):
ModuleNotFoundError: Module not found: Error: Can't resolve '../assets/fonts/Purisa-Bold.ttf' in 'C:\Users\User\Downloads\covid_game\node_modules\quasar\dist'

I have Purisa-Bold.ttf in src/assets/fonts and my @font-face declaration in src/css/quasar.variables.styl is:

@font-face
	font-family Purisa
	font-weight bold
	font-style normal
	src url(../assets/fonts/Purisa-Bold.ttf)

If I use an absolute path of /src/assets/fonts/Purisa-Bold.ttf, it works in dev but not on Android. The funny thing is that when I’m using the relative path, it shows that Purisa-Bold.ttf is being bundled.

I have temporarily solved it by symlinking my assets folder into node_modules/quasar, but that is obviously a hacky and unsatisfactory solution.

I tried adding additional fonts in Photoshop several times. I did it through the Windows settings. I managed.

@TylerFryer said in Add custom fonts to your app:

I have tried several times to add additional fonts to Photoshop for page decoration. Made through Windows settings. I succeeded.

I recommend trying my method. Perhaps this will solve your problem.

Though its nice explanation, but I didn’t worked for me. I cant understand how do I solve it.
