Using Terminus TTF font in Chromium?

[awesom...@gmail.com]

Hello!

Currently, Chromium doesn't support bitmap fonts which renders this browser unable to use the original Terminus Font, however, I was instructed to install the TTF version located here.

Now, the "customize fonts" interface in Chromium's settings displays two versions, one is named Terminus, and the other is named Terminus (TTF), but neither one of those actually works when selected.

Is there anything I have missed or am doing wrong?

Additionally, the real point of me asking this is my goal of using this font in the CSS and not the browser interface, and only on the local client (this font is probably uncommon to be installed on other computers), so if this were possible through some other means then I'll be happy to give it a try!

Thank you!

Have you tried processing the font using FontSquirrel?

http://www.fontsquirrel.com/tools/webfont-generator

The generated examples inside of the package shows how it is used. If that also does not show the font as you intended, there might be an issue with the font file (or the browser, so check the example using other browsers).

FontSquirrel is certainly neat, but it seems I'll have to host the file(s) somewhere other than my local computer. Originally, I intended to use Chromium's user scripts to change/inject new stylesheets into the page and display them locally.

The fonts display properly in the FontSquirrel demo html pages though!

If you are going the user script way, just build an extension, bundle the font in it and mark it as web accessible. This way, you could use it anywhere the extension is installed.

I've decided to use @font-face in order to display the font, but I'm extremely dissatisfied with Chromium's font rendering; why does it have to blur every single font up?

Attached is a small, but straight-to-the-point preview of the ridiculous blurring which renders the font completely unappealing in Chromium.
