One specific font won’t load name into a new fontset

  • This generally works fine… ??
    When adding Miltonian .woff from https://google-webfonts-helper.herokuapp.com/fonts/miltonian?subsets=latin
    into a new fontset the font name (mandatory) isn’t auto populated and then I can’t reference the font via javascript
    Thanks

    jQuery(document).ready(function( $ ){
    $("body").on("fontsampler.event.activatefont", ".fontsampler-wrapper", function (myevent) {
    console.log  ($(myevent.target).find(".font-lister option:selected").val()) // the index of the selected option
    console.log ($(myevent.target).find(".font-lister option:selected").html()) // the displayed name of the selected option
              });

    get

    Hm,

    the auto-populated name is just a “suggestion” — you can type a name there youself, no?

    If you somehow managed to save it without a name that would result in problems when accessing the font later, yes.

    Cheers,

    I think it’s a problem with the miltonian file since all other fonts I use work fine.
    I created a quick mock up site (available for 7 days only!) with just the above JScript to print to the console and and a text fontsampler with two fonts (arimo: works, miltonian: errors). NB I gave miltonian a name when added to fontsampler.

    Thanks for any more advice

    Hey,

    thanks for the test page. It looks like the font has no Opentype features at all, and I think somewhere in the code when updating the list of detected features there is an assumption that all fonts would have such features which causes a problem in the Javascript.

    I’ll have to investigate this some more, but that you for the test case.

    Thanks Johannes,
    It would be great if this could be fixed in a future Fontsampler release.
    Thanks again
