[FlexJS] Integrate FontAwesome with FlexJS
Hi,
I wonder if it make sense to integrate the Font Awesome icon lib with
FlexJS.
I'm using the lib a lot with the standard SDK and it would be nice to be
able to use it with FlexJS.
(A modern flat icon set could bring us a step further to a material design
inspired component set).
Are there any concerns and if not how could this be achieved?
I've absolutely no idea...
Thanks,
Olaf

Yep. Looking forward to it. These efforts help us make sure we haven't
hard-wired anything.
Thanks,

We already provide the Flat.swc as an optional. Should be straightforward
to do the same for FontAwesome5, if we think that will help us grow. But
if an ALv2-compatible version has enough market share, that should be our
preference.
Long-term, we want an ecosystem of for-profit providers of FlexJS SWCs.
If we get some traction, hopefully the CreateJS, Jquery, Flat, and Cordova
folks will take over the starter SWCs we are currently providing as a POC.
My 2 cents,
-Alex

Hi,
I didn’t check the licensing … but eventually it could still be cool to keep an eye on them and eventually help make the open-source version support FlexJS.
This way people that want to use FontAwesome 5 (free or pro) with FlexJS could start right away.

From the looks of it, FontAwesome 5 looks like a completely new project
with the same name/versioning system.
I say we stick with FontAwesome 4.7 and hence the current Apache friendly
licences.
FlexJS users can buy fontawesome 5 and easily build their own library out
of it.
Thanks,

Font Awesome 5 has a different license and I think even the “free” one is not an Apache-compatible license.
There’s probably some way to have a optional “opt-in” for Font Awesome 5, but ultimately the best way to support that might be outside of Apache.

Re: AW: [FlexJS] Integrate FontAwesome with FlexJS

And eventually over this year FontAwesome 5 will be published with a lot of OpenSource extensions (because the Kickstarter Campaign went so well)
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/232193852/font-awesome-5
Here the most interesting parts for the “Free” version:
Funded!!! We’ll add our most-awesome Pro-only code features (but not the Pro icons) to Font Awesome Free! That means we’ll open source our super-awesome SVG Framework AND we’ll make all of our JavaScript component packages available as well! More sprinkles for everyone!
Funded! For React, Angular, Ember.js, and Vue.js, we’ll make framework-native JavaScript components installable through your favorite package manager (npm, yarn) for FA Pro. Free for all of our Pro backers!
Funded! We'll include basic SVG files for free in Font Awesome 5 Free! This won't include any of our SVG framework magic, but should make using Font Awesome Free easier on the desktop and for folks who love SVG!
46 Icon Packs Funded! For every icon category pack, we'll add 10 more icons to Font Awesome Free and another 30 more icons to Font Awesome Pro. These icon packs are available for free for all Pro backers, but will cost $10 each after the Kickstarter. Support now and save!

I think that would be a great addition Om. Thanks for working on that! :)

Just a heads-up, I have started working on a FontAwesome library for
FlexJS. Some basic code is here, in case someone wants to take a peek:
https://github.com/apache/flex-asjs/tree/feature/fontawesome
I needed font awesome icons for the Flex Team Page app I have been building
using FlexJS and MDL. I thought it would be a good addition.
Thanks,
Om

True embedding means that the font data is encoded into the SWF or HTML/JS
file and not a separate request to the server.
Loading means a separate request for the server. It turns out that in our
current loading of a font SWF the font is embedded into the separate font
SWF.

Got it, thanks for explanation Alex!
But one question is left:
What is the difference between just loading a font and embedding a font?
I thought "embedded" means that the font is delivered with our Flex
application so that it don't rely to
the client machine [1].
But if we able to just load the font and use it with FlexJS for me it seems
that's pretty ok.
So what would "embedding" mean in this context and what advantages would
font "embedding" have?
Thanks,
Olaf

The CSS above will work in the browser. The main FlexJS libraries also
produce a runnable SWF as well since the SWF can be used to catch runtime
errors the compilers and browsers won't catch right away. And if you can
deploy the SWF into production, you can probably save on testing in the
various browsers. However, Flash cannot load a otf file and use it. It
needs to be converted into SWF tags. The MXMLC compiler knows how to do
that. Falcon doesn't. So for now, you use MXMLC to generate a SWF
containing the converted otf file, place it next to the font.otf file, and
FlexJS will load the font.swf file and use it.

>so FlexJS can load a font via @fontface
Until now I've just used fonts without thinking about where it comes from
;-)
So while trying to understand how it works I found this from an previous
post [1]:
"What we do support in FlexJS is CSS
@font-face for external font files. In the SWF version that will let you
rotate text and get better rendering, but the font has to be loaded so it
doesn't show up right away. And you have to use the regular Flex SDK to
generate the font SWF to be loaded."
What does "you have to use the regular Flex SDK to generate the font SWF"
mean?
Coud we load the font doing it this way?:
@font-face {
font-family: 'FontAwesome';
src: url('path/to/the/local/font.otf');
font-weight: normal;
font-style: normal;
}
Thanks,
Olaf

AW: [FlexJS] Integrate FontAwesome with FlexJS
Posted by Christofer Dutz <ch...@c-ware.de>.
Hi Olaf,
Unfortunately FlexJS currently doesn't do well with Fonts ... yet ... that's one of the things we have on our list. Currently we are using parts of the Fontkit libs as well as the SWFUtils from the old Flex SDK.

Betreff: [FlexJS] Integrate FontAwesome with FlexJS
Hi,
I wonder if it make sense to integrate the Font Awesome icon lib with
FlexJS.
I'm using the lib a lot with the standard SDK and it would be nice to be
able to use it with FlexJS.
(A modern flat icon set could bring us a step further to a material design
inspired component set).
Are there any concerns and if not how could this be achieved?
I've absolutely no idea...
Thanks,
Olaf
