Hi,

Potential daft newbie question here.
If I change a label.font, do I have to do something to make sure that it is available on the users machine, or does EWB do some magic to somehow embed it into the app?

Hope that makes sense

Richard

1) Add External File.

2) Select Type: Font (from drop-down)

3) It can be Local (included in the project) OR it can be a Resource (included via a URL).

Just to build on Trinione's answer:

Use Project Manager Window
Click in Tree and Highlight External Files (in tree)
Click Add File Icon.....
Select Type "Font"
Local or Resource.....

Just to add a bit to the conversation:

If it's a built-in font like Arial (Windows), Roboto (Android), etc., the you don't need to include anything extra with your project and the font will simply get mapped to the nearest-match on the target OS that the browser is running under (Arial->Helvetica, etc.).  If it's a particularly unique external font like those font on Google Fonts, or an icon font, then yes, you'll need to include it as an external font.
