Upload Fonts–>Media Library page doesn’t show older uploaded fonts

    Hi
    I am testing the plugin and considering upgrading to integrate with Blocksy theme.
    The font doesn’t see any ttf variable font files uploaded before the plugin was installed or even if the plugin is installed and not activated. The plugin does see all the woff files.

    This would mean I have to re-upload all ttf fonts.

    The Hide font files from Media Library setting is off.

    Any ideas?

    Hi @mactwonet

    It’s seems the existing ttf files on your Media Library is uploaded with outdated mime-type.

    This plugin will recognize your existing file that was uploaded with mime-type font/ttf as described on https://stackoverflow.com/a/20723357

    The workaround may involve re-uploading all TTF fonts or updating the database to update the mime-type information of your existing TTF files.

    Thanks and sorry for the delay in responding.
    When it comes to digital fonts there have been 40 years of new tricks.
    Back in the day with the Mac, I started with FONT, FOND and NFONT and then we added POSTSCRIPT EMBEDDED, DOWNLOADABLE POSTSCRIPT FONTS, TYPE TWO FONTS, TRUETYPE, ATM.

    Bonus response.
    Here is a video with the original designer of the Mac’s first bitmap fonts as well as the icons, created over 40 years ago and many we still use today.
