Cannot Dynamically Load CFF Fonts Freetype 2.6.3

[maxabrams]

Following every step on your wiki page, I cannot get a CFF font (such as Inconsolata.otf) to load on demand. It looks like emscripten has changed their default modules to include.

I've tried using the --use-preload-plugins flag, but it still gives an error on run time (Load_Char Error 164)

Are there any special flags or formats to load a CFF font? Any help would be appreciated.

A few errors I noticed:
--use-preload-plugin flag is required or Browser will be undefined
the function "_monochrome" also needs to be included in js compilation or the freetype.html will crash

Also tried with embedding and seemed to fail. Is this emscripten related or how the main function handles the loading of .otf chars?

I ran into the same problem about a month ago and had to regress to freetype 2.4.4. Tracked the problem down to a 64-bit arithmetic issue with FT_DivFix() but have not been able to dedicate any more time to it. I just needed it to work and 2.4.4 was sufficient for my needs.

Some background:

emscripten-core/emscripten#4262

I just released a big change in bwip-js (which uses freetype), and will try to update the freetype notes soon....

Thank you for the response and background information! This provides some great context to work with. I will try and look into the issue as well.

Congratulations on the release :)
