Font conversion to base64

[christian millen gimeno]

Is there a way to convert a font into base64 using droidscript?

I'm sorry, I have absolutely no idea what that question means

Could you please give an explanation of what you are trying to achieve

Oh, what I mean is that how do i convert a downloaded font into base64 so that I can use it inside of my @font-face rule on styles.

You can refer to this code sample below:

<style id="myStyle">

     @font-face {

            font-family: Oxygen; 

            src: url('data:application/octet-stream;base64, <"the base64 font format goes here">);

</style>

It looks like you want

  app.ReadFile(path, "base64")

( not tested in css)

// test code

var b64 //global variable

function OnStart()

{

   var path = "Misc/myfont.ttf"

   b64 = app.ReadFile(path, "base64")

   yn = app.CreateYesNoDialog(b64)

   yn.SetButtonText("Copy to clipboard", "Cancel")

   yn.SetOnTouch(yn_OnTouch)

   yn.Show()

}

function yn_OnTouch(ans)

{

   if(ans == "Yes")

   {

      var s = '"' + b64 + '"'

      app.SetClipboardText(s)

   }

   app.Exit()

I think this is what Im looking for. I'll try it out, thank you Steve.

If you want, you can also use your font (.ttf or .woff) directly without converting it to base64. As long as it 

<style id="myStyle">

     @font-face {

            font-family: Oxygen; 

            src: url(myFont.ttf);

</style>
