Customizable typeface for PDF preview or export about betterfountain

[piersdeseilligny]

It will use os fonts, including autocomplete and an in-editor error if the font can't be found:

I got the PDF export working by using a really cool npm module called font-finder which allows me to point pdfkit to the correct files based simply off the name of the font.

@vekuda yup, it will be in 1.3.0. It's probably still slightly buggy, but it works.

And what do you mean auto-add CONT'D? I haven't added it yet.

[piersdeseilligny]

I don't really want to embed a limited set of fonts into betterfountain, as it would be a lot more elegant to just use system fonts. However pdfkit doesn't currently support this (as it doesn't know where to look for the .ttf files associated with a font name). So this feature is currently on hold.

Looks like I talked too fast...

[vekuda]

Are you telling me that you managed to add this feature?

Also my congratulations (and many thanks) for having added auto-add CONT'D!

Ah, I had seen it in the milestone, but I didn't notice that it was still open.

So how is this typeface feature supposed to work? Will it use OS fonts or a bunch of built-in fonts?
