Compass::Fontcustom

This is my attempt of integrating Font Custom with Compass.

Requirements

Made for ruby 1.9+. Tested on 1.9.3, 2.0.0 and 2.1.3.
You'll need to have fontforge and the WOFF font toolset installed as outlined in the Font Custom installation instructions.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'compass-fontcustom'

or:

gem 'compass-fontcustom', :github => 'glaszig/compass-fontcustom'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Configuration

Compass::Fontcustom adds the following configuration options to Compass.
Just add these to your project's config/compass.rb.

• fontcustom_hash
  Enables/disables Fontcustom file name hashing.
• fontcustom_input_paths
  Array of paths where to search for SVG files to build custom fonts from.
• fontcustom_fonts_path
  Path to put generated font files in.

Usage

Syntactically it works like Compass' sprites feature.
You can let Font Custom generate your fonts upon Compass' css compilation:

@import "myfont/*.svg";
@include all-myfont-glyphs;

This will setup a proper @font-face and generate icon classes named .icon-<font_name>-<glyph_name> for each glyph.

Custom class names

You can also use custom class names using the <font_name>-glyph() mixin:

.custom-class-name {
  @include myfont-glyph(glyph-file-name);
}

which will result into CSS along the lines of:

.myfont-font, .custom-class-name {
  font-family: "myfont";
}
.custom-class-name:before {
  content: "\f100";
}

Attention
Generated CSS class names will be normalized and reserved characters removed.
That means if you have a glyph file name of a_R3ally-eXotic f1Le+Name.svg the generated class name will be .icon-myfont-a_R3ally-eXotic-f1Le-Name.
