Hi,

I am trying to add a Google Font, specifically, https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Maven+Pro into the IDE for use at run time (I'm guessing I can't use it within the IDE as it's only a web font?), but I'm not sure that I am using the correct URL when adding it as a font as an external file?

Would someone mind clarifying what the exact URL would be to add the above font please?

I guess, if the font was added as "Maven Pro" I would, in code, just be able to do:

Label.Font.Name := 'Maven Pro'; for it to work?

Thanks in advance

Richard

Richard,

Per email:

You need to download/install the TrueType/OpenType version of the font first so that it can be used with Windows and in the EWB IDE.  That's the only other thing you need to do - the URL link for the font will take care of making it available at run-time.

Hi Tim,

I haven't worried to much about the IDE part, as after a quick look, I couldn't find a TrueType/OpenType font from Google for what I was looking for.

I have put the URL in, but I can't seem to get the font to display (at run time) so am not sure what I am doing wrong?
