Hey guys, I remember that we talked about how to including a custom font https://stackoverflow.com/questions/42534552/how-to-load-custom-font-with-typesafe-css but I can't find the converstion here on slack anymore, did we added some nice way to load custom fonts or should I do it the way it was suggesed form @edvin and @Ruckus on stackoverflow?

We added a helper function for loading fonts to replace the past in the companion object, but I'm not at a computer right now and I can't remember what it was of the top of my head. I would guess something like

loadFont

I didn't know that was there... just changed some code...

loadFont("/fonts/Open_Sans/OpenSans-Light.ttf", 20.0)?: Font.font(20.0)

PlayerStyles::class.java.getResourceAsStream("/fonts/Open_Sans/OpenSans-Regular.ttf").use {Font.loadFont(it, 20.0)}

loadFont("/fonts/Open_Sans/OpenSans-Light.ttf", 20.0)?: Font.font(20.0)

jchildress

is there an autocomplete combobox now?

edvin

04/22/2017, 10:40 PM

@jchildress Thank you! Will add datagrid. That view looks very nice btw. Would be cool to see it implemented in TornadoFX

edvin

04/22/2017, 10:40 PM

@jchildress Yes, you can do

makeAutocompletable

on a ComboBox now.

edvin

04/22/2017, 10:40 PM

I will mention that as well.

edvin

And the data driven TreeView 🙂

I've been having trouble getting something down on paper all day. Finally it started coming to me. Maybe it has to do with the 22 espressos I consumed while adjusting the new coffee grinder...

@jchildress If Spotify or one of the others have an API it would be cool to create a demo with that UI.

jchildress

04/22/2017, 10:45 PM

i was working on a flac player... lossless format... there was a nice swing one Musique, but i was just playing around and thought his screens looked nice

edvin

04/22/2017, 10:47 PM

Yeah, it's really stunning. Would be perfect for a demo!

edvin

04/22/2017, 10:49 PM

Wow. I love that find people thing as well.

edvin

04/22/2017, 10:49 PM

And it wouldn't be many lines of code to create something like that.

jchildress

yeah the nice part about xd is that you can export the design to svg... so if i needed gradients and icons/logos... they came across nice...
