Use webfonts without manually installing font locally

I would like to use icon libraries (web fonts) without to install them as fonts in my system. For that it would be great to have the option to use all icons of a downloaded "woff-file" i.e. from the following sites and embed them into the xd project:

materialdesignicons.com
flaticon.com
Google Web Fonts
FontAwesome

    We sure want it, indeed. The license for mobile vs laptop also impedes our work ... I would propose inserting a webfonts possibility with @importance) (or direct upload.weff font files to XD designs if our clients want to use font only on their websites that we will need to access mobile font style fonts (most of which are under any licence). https://fontvilla.com will help you in this matter

    Designers always seeking some fonts and to use those fonts they have to download and install the fonts. I think the adobe can make it more user-friendly by either placing specific font in specific files or by direct access throw Google Fonts or Adobe Typekit Fonts.

    This will be much much helpful to UI Designers who always try to use new font on their next project.

    It could be awesome to have google fonts library inside XD to use them without installing new font everytime

    Hi, I'm a UI/UX Designer/Dev who needs to embed .eot, ttf, svg, woff, and woff2 files instead of using the headtag to my Adobe Cloud web project saved fonts. The reason this is important is because the sites I work on are not all open-source and are in a closed intranet environment.

    The Google font kits are not matching correctly to the Adobe fonts, so Adobe, please provide these hard files!

    Same goes for icons similar to this stream.

    Configure the file in a way to tell what fonts the prototype needs and where to find it, Google Fonts, Adobe Fonts, MyWebsite/fonts or whatever they are for this prototype to work without having to install them in a handheld device or the computer where the prototype is gong to be viewed.
    This way we could design using any font necessary, iterate, play with before settle with what fonts are going to be used in the final design. Otherwise we are limited to what fonts the device has loaded.
    A much better solution would be to embed the fonts with the prototype, but if is not possible or difficult, just referencing the fonts to a website may work.
    I only want to use some of the available fonts in my computer in the prototypes. At this time is not possible or very difficult to do.
    Thanks.

    Adobe is always trying to push Adobe fonts of course, but its kinda annoying cause we don't wanna use Typefikit, wWe use Google Web Fonts.

  • Dave commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    ESPECIALLY Google Web Fonts! I would really, really like to see this happen. Adobe Fonts is a good start, but I strictly use google web fonts in my builds and need to be able to send the client a pretty good example of what they're going to see.

    I'm going to try Skyfonts. I use Google fonts as well as a work horse across all my sites across various CMSs. Trying to keep the latest versions with a Design systems and teams is a pain.

    hey,

    just import a font-library like fontawesome and u have everything u need,

    in your css or sass or less just @import the desired font-library and use as you would do as for any other font:

    eg. in your css, less or sass source:

    @import url('https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Roboto');
    </style>

    and then

    in your css, less or sass source:

    body{
    font-family: 'Roboto', sans-serif;
    }

    cheeers

    Definitely yes, we want it. Our work is still blocked by licence for web vs desktop ... if our clients want use fonts only on their websites we still needs download desktop type fonts (which are in most under some licence)
    I can recommend add some possibility use webfonts with @import() or direct upload .woff font files into XD designs. https://www.fontsquirrel.com/ has sometimes problems to generate .ttf s from .woff.

  • Mehdi Bouhalassa commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Please, please do.
    At the same time, it's NEVER gonna happen, because Adobe Typekit.
    And this is why we can't have nice things.
