Thanks for reviewing the patch and adding that comment, Chris. It is very appreciated. 

 

Perhaps Bernardo or someone else will be able to test and sign off. Happy to do more work on this one if necessary.

The concept of your patch looks great, David. I'm sorry I can't test it at the moment.

 

I did add a comment on your description in order to clarify the purpose of the 12 default fonts.

 

Kind regards,

Chris

Thanks again for your help!

 

I’ve tried your suggestion, and I tried adding options to C4::Creators::Lib with mappings in koha-conf.xml. Both ideas worked.

 

For now, I think I’ll advise people to use your suggestion (and use Javascript to change the labels in the Staff client).

 

I’ve opened a bug report (https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=25384) to improve this in the future. I think I’ll even have a quick crack at it.

 

Cheers,

Thanks Chris and Bernardo for getting back to me so quickly.

 

That’s good to know, although from the user experience point of view I don’t think that it’ll be sufficient, since it would still have the old font name in the web UI. 

 

I’ll take a deeper look today and report back.

Hi David,

 

How does one add fonts to Koha for the label creator?

 

I’m curious about adding “Arial” ( or rather LiberationSans-Regular.ttf as matched by fc-match) and “Arial Bold” (or rather Roboto-Regular.ttf as matched by fc-match) to the Koha label creator.

 

I see we have a hard-coded list of font types in C4/Creators/Lib.pm. There is also a list of TTF files in etc/koha-conf.xml.

 

Changing paths in koha-conf.xml is enough, replacing entries for H and HB or any other.

 

 

Hard-coded fonts are effectively defaults. They are installed by a dependency (I don't recall which atm.).

 

Substituting fonts is done as Bernardo pointed out.

 

Chris
