Examples
The following snippet will query for all available fonts, and log metadata. This could be used, for example, to populate a font-picker control.
js
async function logFontData() {
try {
const availableFonts = await window.queryLocalFonts();
for (const fontData of availableFonts) {
console.log(fontData.postscriptName);
console.log(fontData.fullName);
console.log(fontData.family);
console.log(fontData.style);
}
} catch (err) {
console.error(err.name, err.message);
}
}
