This is my attempt of integrating Font Custom with Compass.
Made for ruby 1.9+. Tested on 1.9.3 and 2.0.0.
You'll need to have fontforge and the WOFF font toolset installed as outlined in the Font Custom installation instructions.
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'compass-fontcustom'
or:
gem 'compass-fontcustom', :github => 'glaszig/compass-fontcustom'
And then execute:
$ bundle
Syntactically it works like Compass' sprites feature.
You can let Font Custom generate your fonts upon Compass' css compilation:
@import "myfont/*.svg";
@include all-myfont-glyphs;
This will setup a proper @font-face
and generate icon classes named .icon-<font_name>-<glyph_name>
for each glyph.
You can also use custom class names using the <font_name>-glyph()
mixin:
.custom-class-name {
@include myfont-glyph(glyph-file-name);
}
which will result into CSS along the lines of:
.myfont-font, .custom-class-name {
font-family: "myfont";
}
.custom-class-name:before {
content: "\f100";
}
Attention
Generated CSS class names will be normalized and reserved characters removed.
That means if you have a glyph file name ofa_R3ally-eXotic f1Le+Name.svg
the generated class name will be.icon-myfont-a_R3ally-eXotic-f1Le-Name
.
You can choose to disable file name hashes if you're already using an asset pipeline which handles this for you:
Use the fontcustom_hash
option in config.rb
compass_config do |config|
config.fontcustom_hash = false
end
