Create a CSS-file from fonts

[rubeus]

Hi,

i created a very very simple plugin. It just iterates through the font files and creates a StyleFont.css file in the book.

Cool. I added your plugin to the sticky list of plugins. Thanks for contributing.

I don't know much about fonts/fontfiles in general, but it does seem like the most straightforward way to manipulate/query font files in Python is through third-party library-modules -- which makes things harder to distribute to other users. I do know calibre does some font manipulation stuff (subsetting and such) perhaps there's something there that can offer some enlightenment.

New Version in #1

I'm trying to guess some values derived from the filename

New Version 020 in #1

With the help of Doitso the plugin is able to read the fontname directly from the file. Weight and style are derived from the fontname. If the fontname cant be read, the filename is taken into account.

The new version 0.3.0 requires Python 3.x and the PIL libraries. This is present if you are using sigil from version 0.9.1 or newer and use the built-in python interpreter

I will leave the old one(0.2.0 for Python 2.7) in the first post, but it will not be maintained any longer (by me)

Useful tool, thank you! I hope to avoid error messages by implementing fonts that sometimes occur, in the future!

Hello everyone,

I have following error and I don't know how to fix it :

Status: failed

  File "C:\Python34\lib\site-packages\PIL\ImageFont.py", line 239, in truetype

    "", size, index, encoding, self.font_bytes)
OSError: unknown file format

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Error: object of type '_io.BytesIO' has no len()

Sigil version : 0.8.4 x86
Python version : 3.4.0 x86

Can anyone help me please ? Only one computer generate this error. Others works fine.

Thanks for answer !

The one throwing the exception does not have the library PIL installed or is not using the internal Python interpreter or has a wrong version of Sigil.

before using AddStyleFont I have installed PIL via

pip install Pillow

or is it wrong ?
Other computer with the same installation works fine.

[rubeus]

If they work fine they don't have the same installation.

There is no longer a download link.
Reason?

rubeus was banned from MR because of his repeated attacks against newbie posters contrary to repeated requests that he stop. My guess he has removed all of his plugins which is of course his right. I will remove them from the plugin index.
So unless he has posted them on some personal page someplace, you are out of luck.

Sorry about that but we simply can not have newbie questions being verbally attacked in our own help forums.

Some time ago, I designed a similar plugin that is not as fancy as the one by rubeus, but it basically does the same job.

If you want, I can attach it to this thread.
