I think a nice and “not so time consuming to implement” feature would be have a checkbox to embed Google Fonts inside the Hype project. In my scenario I need, sometimes, to show a presentation offline: of course I can include them manually but is time consuming and can be easily automated.
All Google fonts can be downloaded from this URL (or at least those that have permissive licensing): https://github.com/google/fonts, so this would be possible. We haven’t heard many requests for this though. Thanks for the suggestion!
there is already a Google Fonts manager integrated in Hype
if an user is not aware of “what” Google Fonts are or “how” they are integrated into the project, they won’t expect that they will work only online (need to be “dumb proof”)
so I would suggest at least to add a “warning” that explains that this feature need an Internet connection or, better, a checkbox to include the font inside the Resources, so the project will work also offline
In general, in my opinion, a project should be intended to work online or offline, so Hype should avoid the use of external resources (at least not by default).
a client just asked me to include the font in the zip so he will be able to view offline… @cescomare; you’ve sed “of course I can include them manually”, can you through an example? can it be done with other fonts/not just google ones…
to make Hype see the font just add a font with the interface, but without adding any other code, be only careful to put the same font-family written in the CSS (the Display Name is up to you, is like you wanna call it in the Hype menu)
@font-face {
font-family: ‘FontAwesome’;
TIPS
Since Hype doesn’t support different font weights, just create different font-families names:
