Support for data-url fonts?

[kaldrenon]

I don't see anything in the documentation about loading a font via data-url, so my guess is that this isn't supported, but I would like to confirm that.

If that is true, is there a suggestion for how I could convert text to a path when I only have the data-url of a font?

If data-urls can be used, could the Readme include an example for how to use it?

They can be used, at least for a browser environment. I use it like this (based on README snippet):

// First argument is URL on web browsers, but it is file path on Node.js.
TextToSVG.load('data:application/font-ttf;base64,SGVsbG8sIFdvcmxkIQ==', function(err, textToSVG) {
    const svg = textToSVG.getSVG('hello');
    console.log(svg);
});

According to what I read around, only TTF works. Also, if you're on Node, you can use this, but you need to do some hacking:

1. Locate your project's node_modules folder;
2. Locate the opentype.js folder;
3. Open opentype.js/src/opentype.js;
4. Locate this part of the code: function load(url, callback);
5. Change const loadFn to always be loadFromUrl;
6. Save;
7. Have a terminal in the opentype.js folder and run npm i then npm run build;
8. If you had used npm start, stop it and run it again.
