Here's how to setup a custom font with PowerUI. Note that you can also use web fonts via @font-face too (although we recommend including them in your project whenever possible. InfiniText, PowerUI's text engine, has full access to the glyphs in font faces and exposes the shapes publicly - if you want very advanced text effects then make sure you fiddle around with InfiniText too!

Adding a custom font

1. In any folder called Resources, create a folder with the font name you'd like to use.

 E.g. Resources/Verdana/

2. Put your font files in it.

 E.g. Resources/Verdana/Verdana Bold.ttf


3. Right click on the font folder, and go to PowerUI > Rename Font

   Or alternatively, just add .bytes to the end of those font files. This results in e.g. Resources/Verdana/Verdana Bold.ttf.bytes - a file which PowerUI can now easily read.


4. To use the font, use font-family:"Your Family name" in your CSS.

  E.g. font-family:"Verdana"
