Hi @artyPD, sounds like unpkg.com has a problem

Simple solution, as in it seems easy, but I'm not this competent YET... One day...

Host the font files locally.

Instead of loading fonts from unpkg.com, download them and serve them from the same domain (it-tools.tech). That way, there's no cross-origin request to be blocked.

It seems so simple now. Thanks.

I can do you one better (I think)... There are two slashes right before Standard. If you remove one, the font is actually loadable from unpkg. https://unpkg.com/[email protected]/fonts/Standard.flf. It might be a mere concatenation issue!

Cheers

Hi @artyPD and @Gormandy and @bfqrst , I will serve fonts locally in my fork soon (for "safety reasons"). But as of now, this works again in my fork (ctrl+f5 may be needed): https://sharevb-it-tools.vercel.app/ascii-text-drawer

[artyPD]

Hi @sharevb, looks good!

It seems that Ctrl+F5 is needed to switch fonts. Swiching between the different fonts with reloading shows the same error. However, Ctrl+F5 then loads the font I selected because it was the last selected font. Is this what you meant with the Ctrl+F5?

Hi @artyPD and @Gormandy and @bfqrst , I now serve fonts locally in my fork. May need one time "ctrl+f5" since it-tools is a PWA

I am seeing this also. Has anything been done to change the concatenation for the fonts?

Hi @artyPD and @Gormandy and @bfqrst and @moltra , I now serve fonts locally in my fork. May need one time "ctrl+f5" since it-tools is a PWA, at https://sharevb-it-tools.vercel.app/ascii-text-drawer and if you arr interested in up to date version of it-tools, I made kind of a fork here : https://github.com/sharevb/it-tools (https://sharevb-it-tools.vercel.app/ and docker images https://github.com/sharevb/it-tools/pkgs/container/it-tools)

Thanks, it is working well. Just a heads up to anyone using this docker. The original docker uses port 80 your docker version uses port 8080. I did not realize this at first and had to re-edit the docker compose to correct this.

[red-lichtie]

The last release was build in October last year, is this awesome app still being developed or is there an active/maintained fork?

[sharevb]

Hi @red-lichtie , @diracdelta420, it should be ok on my fork

And if you are interested in an up to date version of it-tools, with many improvements, new tools, and bug fixes, as this repo is almost no more maintained, I made a fork here : https://github.com/sharevb/it-tools (https://sharevb-it-tools.vercel.app/ and docker images https://github.com/sharevb/it-tools/pkgs/container/it-tools)
