Allow loading of external fonts

[wader]

Hey, yeah that would be nice. Any idea how it could be done? some generic argument to prepend text or something more font specific? thinking it would be nice to make it easy to embed a font to not make the svg depend on external resources?

As I said, I'm more of a trial and error person when it comes to web tech - so probably not in a position to advise anything specific here. Yes, it would be nice if the SVG stays self-contained, but OTOH, if I explicitly reference external resources then I can as well put them in the same folder as the generated SVGs - so it's more of a nice-to-have, I guess.

Hmm tricky, looking at https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/wernight/powerline-web-fonts/PowerlineFonts.css it does not look trivial to embed as it depend on other resources (in differens paths) and i think you would have to use data: urls to embed? but i could be wrong

Maybe it should be two differente argument, one to add a font file via filsystem path and one to inject extra css?

Yes, sounds good.
