WebFontsContrib

Web fonts for Foswiki skins

This is a bundle of commonly used free web-fonts to be used in your Foswiki skin. Each font comes with a handy font-face definition that you may add to your own css. They are located in

pub/System/WebFontsContrib/<font-family>/font-face.css

For instance, given your styles.css is located in pub/System/MyThemeContrib/styles.css, then adding this will make the "Roboto" available in your design

@import url(../WebFontsContrib/roboto/font-face.css);

Depending on the font different styles and weights are defined in the font-face file.

Font Family	Weights	Styles
Droid Sans	normal, bold	normal
Droid Serif	normal, bold	normal, italic
Lato	100, 200, 300, 500, 600, 800, 900, bold, normal	normal, italic
Material Icons	400	normal
Open Sans	300, 600, 800, bold, normal	normal, italic
Oswald	300, normal, bold	normal
Oswald Stencil	normal	normal
Roboto	100, 300, 400, 500, 700, 900, bold, normal	normal, italic
Roboto Mono	100, 300, 400, 500, 700	normal, italic
Source Sans Pro	200, 300, 400, 600, 700, 900	normal, italic

Installation Instructions

You do not need to install anything in the browser to use this extension. The following instructions are for the administrator who installs the extension on the server.

Open configure, and open the "Extensions" section. "Extensions Operation and Maintenance" Tab -> "Install, Update or Remove extensions" Tab. Click the "Search for Extensions" button. Enter part of the extension name or description and press search. Select the desired extension(s) and click install. If an extension is already installed, it will not show up in the search results.

You can also install from the shell by running the extension installer as the web server user: (Be sure to run as the webserver user, not as root!)

cd /path/to/foswiki
perl tools/extension_installer <NameOfExtension> install

If you have any problems, or if the extension isn't available in configure, then you can still install manually from the command-line. See https://foswiki.org/Support/ManuallyInstallingExtensions for more help.
