Font Loader :D

pixijs/pixijs#1282

Would be ACE

I'm using Pixi on a web project and the resource loader is very nice to get also all other necessary stuff.
A font loader or at least a detector would be very cool indeed :)

Hi Dev Team!
Have you guys just considered forking Font.js and integrating it into the loader?

I've also had luck with https://github.com/bramstein/fontfaceobserver. Would be great to include that as part of the loader.

So I think that the way to go with this is to just load the font files as arraybuffers without parsing them at all. I don't want to recreate all the things necessary in https://github.com/nodebox/opentype.js for parsing, but its trivial to have this load them.

Also sets us up in a good spot to use a library like opentype.js to do SDF text and automatic bitmap fonts. But I have decided that font parsing doesn't belong here, and that binary file loading is as far as I will go with this. Should be easy to add a middleware that uses opentype.js to create a usable font object.
