The Problem
I'm creating a Super Mario themed css style sheet for my application, and I want to change the font of my buttons to a custom font called Press Start 2P, which is the pixelated font used in the NES Mario games. However, my application's not loading the font for some odd reason.
CSS code:
.text
{
-fx-font-family: "Press-Start-2P";
}
.button
{
-fx-background-color: transparent;
//-fx-text-fill: rgb(255, 255, 255);
}
@font-face
{
font-family: Press-Start-2P;
src: url("PressStart2P.ttf");
}
When I run the application, it gives me this message:
Apr 25, 2015 8:22:32 AM com.sun.javafx.css.StyleManager loadStylesheetUnPrivileged
INFO: Could not load @font-face font [file:/C:/Users/Ahmad%20El-Baher/Documents/Programming/Java/Integrative%20Project%20Semester%204/trunk/build/classes/res/styles/PressStart2P.ttf]
How do I make my application load my font properly?
Note that the below will work only with Java versions >= 1.8u60
I was having the same issues. The way to load CSS
in JavaFX
8 is by setting the font face file and then using the Font Name as reference which can be found by previewing the font.
The font file is relative to the CSS
. I have the root set with the font, but you can remove that and leave it per node based.
CSS code
@font-face {
src: url("freeuniverse2.ttf"),
}
.root {
-fx-background-color: gray;
-fx-font-family: "Free Universe 2";
}
#window {
-fx-border-image-source: url("images/windowfill.png");
-fx-border-image-slice: 17 6 13 6 fill;
-fx-border-image-width: 17 6 13 6 ;
-fx-background-color: gray;
}
.text {
-fx-text-fill: white;
-fx-font-size: 16px;
-fx-font-family: "Free Universe 2";
-fx-background-color: transparent;
}
.pane {
-fx-border-image-source: url("images/windowfill.png");
-fx-border-image-slice: 17 6 13 6 fill;
-fx-border-image-width: 17 6 13 6 ;
-fx-background-color: gray;
}
.vbox {
-fx-border-image-source: url("images/windowfill.png");
-fx-border-image-slice: 17 6 13 6 fill;
-fx-border-image-width: 17 6 13 6 ;
-fx-background-color: gray;
}
#title-text {
-fx-text-fill: white;
-fx-font-size: 36px;
-fx-font-family: "Free Universe 2";
}
.label {
-fx-text-fill: white;
-fx-font-size: 16px;
-fx-font-family: "Free Universe 2";
-fx-background-color: transparent;
}
Font File Preview(Below you can see the real Font Name)
See if your CSS file and the TTF file are in same directory. According to your code, src: url("PressStart2P.ttf");
they should be in same directory.
Also, try replacing
@font-face
{
font-family: Press-Start-2P;
src: url("PressStart2P.ttf");
}
with
@font-face
{
-fx-font-family: 'Press-Start-2P';
src: url('PressStart2P.ttf');
}
I know it's kinda late . But for those people who still in need, I think the problem here is that you have spaces in your project name. Try to rename your project with IntegrativeProjectSemester4
