cordova-plugin-fonts maintenance release 0.6.0

The Adapt It Mobile team members maintain a general purpose plugin for the Apache Cordova framework called cordova-plugin-fonts. This plugin allows Adapt It Mobile to enumerate the fonts installed on the mobile device, so that they can be used for adaptation.

The cordova-plugin-fonts release 0.6.0 adds a new method, getDefaultFont:

GetDefaultFont

Parameters:

• successCallback: Callback that returns the string name of the default font on the device.
• errorCallback: Callback that executes if an error occurs during the call.

Android quirks

Android currently returns a hard-coded string for the default font, “Roboto Regular”.

Firefox OS quirks

Firefox OS does not provide an API to access the fonts on the device. The Fonts plugin currently returns a hard-coded string for the default font “Fira Sans Regular”. See https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/styleguide/products/firefox-os/typeface/ for more information.

Example

if (navigator.Fonts) {
    console.log("Fonts object in navigator");
    navigator.Fonts.getDefaultFont(
        function (defaultFont) {
            if (defaultFont) {
                console.log("Default Font: " + defaultFont);
            }
        },
        function (error) {
            console.log("DefaultFont error: " + error);
        }
    );
} else {
    console.log("Plugin error: Fonts plugin not found (is it installed?)");
}
