I need to load font (.otf
or .ttf
) file from java Resource
or InputStream
in SWT.
org.eclipse.swt.graphics.Device.loadFont(String path)
allows me (example) to load font from font file path (and it works), but there is no corresponding method to load it from any other source.
I was thinking of using java.awt.Font.createFont(int fontFormat, InputStream fontStream)
and then building org.eclipse.swt.graphics.FontData
and org.eclipse.swt.graphics.Font
objects out of AWT java.awt.Font
object.
Since I haven't tried that option yet (I don't even know if it works that way) I was just wondering if there are any other options available?
