If you have Crouton installed on a developer mode Chromebook, or if you're on pretty much any other OS, you can install those fonts locally or copy them locally and it'll work with little to no effort.
To add a new font, you can submit a GitHub pull request through a forked repository. Your pull request should:
- Include a new font file in WOFF2 format.
- Add your font to
PowerlineFonts.css
,preview.html
andREADME.md
(might use Transfonter to help with the CSS). - Once merged, send another pull request, I might forget, that updates all
https://cdn.rawgit.com/
in this README to the latest commit SHA-1. You can do that in the original Pull Request if it gets rebased (merge and sqashes would not work in that case).
There are various methods, including:
-
Using FontForge:
