Failure to load woff2 fonts on Linux

[bretif]

Hello,

I am using mkdocs with material theme.
I follow documentation and I think install everything as needed.
python -m weasyprint http://weasyprint.org weasyprint.pdf is working properly

$ mkdocs --version
mkdocs, version 1.0.4 from /home/bretif/dev/mkdocs/skinfra-mkdocs/py3/lib/python3.5/site-packages/mkdocs (Python 3.5)

If I try to build my site but I get this error

ERROR: Failed to load font at "file:///home/bretif/dev/mkdocs/skinfra-mkdocs/site/assets/fonts/specimen/MaterialIcons-Regular.woff2"
ERROR: Failed to load font at "file:///home/bretif/dev/mkdocs/skinfra-mkdocs/site/assets/fonts/specimen/FontAwesome.woff2"

However these files exist:

$ ls -l /home/bretif/dev/mkdocs/skinfra-mkdocs/site/assets/fonts/specimen/MaterialIcons-Regular.woff2
-rw-r--r-- 1 bretif psi 44300 sept. 25 11:37 /home/bretif/dev/mkdocs/skinfra-mkdocs/site/assets/fonts/specimen/MaterialIcons-Regular.woff2

$ ls -l /home/bretif/dev/mkdocs/skinfra-mkdocs/site/assets/fonts/specimen/FontAwesome.woff2                                      
-rw-r--r-- 1 bretif psi 77160 sept. 25 11:37 /home/bretif/dev/mkdocs/skinfra-mkdocs/site/assets/fonts/specimen/FontAwesome.woff2

Do you have any clue of what is wrong with my setup.

Regards

Can you run it with the verbose option and check whether you get anything else that could help?

I attached full log of run in debug version for only a page. mkdocs-pdf-export-issue14.txt

I get the same error for all pages.
No pdf are generated.

Here is extract of the step with the error

While the error message is certainly not very good, this is a missing feature of weasyprint running on Linux:

https://weasyprint.readthedocs.io/en/stable/features.html#fonts

Maybe referencing another font format will solve it?

[bretif]

Thanks for your reply.
I understand that under Linux weasyprint can not load woff2 fonts.

The only solution I found is to manually edit

• material/assets/fonts/material-icons.css
• material/assets/fonts/font-awesome.css

and set ttf font first in the list of format font.

If you have any idea to fix the issue....

Won't fix - Weasyprint does not support woff2.
