Fonts

The ext/fonts/ directory contains fonts that are not compatible with the LGPL-3.0 license and cannot be used in other projects.

Web Open Font Format 2

RetroTxt relies on Truetype or OpenType web fonts in the WOFF2¹ format that offers the best compression to reduce the overall download and memory-use.

The WOFF2¹ format is relatively new, and many font distributions do not offer it. Older formats must first be converted to add these fonts to RetroTxt.

WebAssembly TTF to WOFF2

Convert a Truetype font into WOFF2

cd RetroTxt
pnpm run font fontname.ttf fontname.woff2

Tip for Windows

Windows users may need to update the font script in the package.json file.
