Font tutorial?

Post by H. Numan »

I'm looking for a tutorial to make Phoca fonts and another one to make themes for the gallery.
I can't find any. :idea: Believe me I really searched for them.

Thanks for the assist,

Numan

paul.mason said that :
Here is a quick basic tutorial to save you those couple of hours:

1. Download the phoca font component,phoca font plugin, and phoca domestic manners font.
2. Install the component, and plugin.
3. Enable the plugin.
3. Install the phoca domestic manners through the phoca font component.
4. Download your desired font tff file, I used this site: http://www.dafont.com
5. Make a .eot version of the .tff file, I used this site: http://www.kirsle.net/wizards/ttf2eot.cgi
6. Go to the joomla folder /components/com_phocafont/fonts/ and copy your new tff & eot files into that folder.
7. Delete the Domestic_Manners.ttf and Domestic_Manners.eot and rename your new tff & eot to those Domestic_Manners.ttf & Domestic_Manners.eot respectively.

That's it. Hope it helps.
fangletoot Reply after Mason and explain another method

and this is the normal method

1) I understand Jan's comment that he wants to concentrate on development rather than writing instructions that are already widely available on the internet. On the other hand, paul.mason's comment is fantastically succinct and saved me a lot of googling time. Only problem is that the instructions were basically to replace a pre-installed font (*.ttf and *.eot files). If you unzip com_phocafont_domesticmanners.zip you'll realise you need to package up the following files:-

* fontname.ttf
* fontname.eot (which paul.mason explains can be created from the *.ttf)
* fontname_license.txt (not absolutely essential)
* fontname.xml (at minimum needs customising to say which files are included)
* index.html (simple generic file)

This part is specific to the extension in order to upload a new font - it really does need to be included in the documentation.

Searched everywhere = everywhere on the phoca site. Not in the JED. :o
