Add custom fonts to your app

israel965

@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.

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.

Hi everyone for people with recent version, my solution was

Put your custom font, here:

and load it like this for example in app.scss:

And in the quasar.conf.js, you should comment the 2 last lines like this screen:

In the documention, there is a typo, instead of path ‘./src/css/fonts/[customfont.woff]’, it should be ‘./public/fonts/[customfont.woff]’ and there sould be no dot at the beginning of the path in url e.g: url(’/blabla’) not url(’./blabla) :
https://quasar.dev/style/typography#add-custom-fonts

Hope it helps, cheers!

Sorry, in my previous post you should only comment in quasar.conf.js, the line with “roboto-font” and decomment “material-icons”

@strife-cloud Absolutely spot on. I’d worked out the cryptic “Cant resolve … quasar/dist” had something to do with the static files. Your solution was probably the only option I hadn’t tried! It’s a shame the documentation is still wrong.
