A simple Sinatra-based font hosting rack application that utilizes HTTP caching and Allow-Access-Control-Origin properly and generates the corresponding @font-face-CSS file on the fly.
Create a Gemfile:
source :rubygems gem 'rack-fontserve'
Create a config.ru:
require 'bundler/setup' require 'rack-fontserve' Rack::Fontserve.set :fonts_path, './fonts' run Rack::Fontserve
Create a directory ‘fonts’, place your fonts inside there in subfolders, where each font format file has the same name as the directory:
fonts/iconic_stroke/ + iconic_stroke.eot + iconic_stroke.ttf + iconic_stroke.svg
That’s it! Run with ‘rackup`, push to heroku, or mount it in an existing Rails 3 app by adding rack-fontserve to your gemfile, setting the fonts path and mounting the app in your routes.rb file:
mount Rack::Fontserve, :at => "/fonts"
You can see a demo of all fonts in the fonts_path at /demo
-
Improve the CSS syntax (kill unneccessary blank lines)
-
Make the scope selector for svg fonts configurable
-
Add an “all.css” action that aggregates all fonts into one file
-
Fork the project.
-
Make your feature addition or bug fix.
-
Add tests for it. This is important so I don’t break it in a future version unintentionally.
-
Commit, do not mess with rakefile, version, or history. (if you want to have your own version, that is fine but bump version in a commit by itself I can ignore when I pull)
-
Send me a pull request. Bonus points for topic branches.
