How to load a font from memory or file?

[Yosof]

I recently upgraded to a new skia version provided by vcpkg and I found that SkFontMgr::RefDefault() was removed

instead there is SkFontMgr::RefEmpty() which as the name implies has no fonts at all!

I suspect this is the cause the text layout is always empty

I tried to load fonts using TypefaceFontProvider but its onMakeFromData() and onMakeFromFile() are stubbed and returning nullptr

How should I load fonts ?

And is there still a method to load the system fonts like was before or I have to implement all of this myself?

You can still use the custom fontmgrs, like SkFontMgr_New_Custom_Directory which loads fonts from a specific directory.

But if you wanted to keep previous behavior of system font managers, look at what rust-skia did. https://github.com/rust-skia/rust-skia/releases/tag/0.71.0
