Loading a font .ttf file [message #1385942]

Hello,
I want to use my own font in a RAP-Application. The font is in a .ttf file. Is there any possiblity to load it into my Application?

For RCP I found the following:

final String path = "fonts/myFont.ttf";
final URL pathUrl = BundleUtility.find(PLUGIN_ID, path);
final boolean isFontLoaded = Display.getCurrent().loadFont(pathUrl.toExternalForm());

But the method loadFont() does not exist in my RAP-Application.
Does anyone have a clue how to do it?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,
the fonts, used by RAP application, must be available/installed on the
client, not on the server. Using custom fonts in a Web application is
possible with so called web-fonts. Unfortunately, web font support is
still missing in RAP. See this bug:

Best,
Ivan
