[question] Use PDF in SBIX font?

Open miguelsousa opened this issue 8 years ago • 8 comments

Have you considered using PDFs instead of PNGs in the sbix font?

You can do that!? It would be nice to make it less than 18MB... Thanks Miguel!

Yep. The font will be smaller and the artwork will be scalable. To get PDF files for all the glyphs I suggest taking the SVG files and converting them with svg2pdf. Let me know if you need help with any of this. I'm already setup and it would take me less than an hour.

I never knew about this either, very interesting! Small heads up, though: https://twitter.com/Lorp/status/744148497222479872

Last time I checked it seemed to be working fine in Safari. I'll try to submit a PR soon, unless someone does it first.

What goes into getting setup?

Crazy question for @miguelsousa: have you ever tried to mix PNG and PDF strikes? Perhaps PNG for small sizes, PDF for large?

@colinmford I have not.

Hmm, this issue seems to be no longer valid, with the release of version 1.2.0 the SBIX font seems to have been dropped. Maybe close this issue?

Yeah, this is not a route we should persue, IMO.
