So i'm not clear on something. How does JavaFX handle variable fonts?
For example, I have this Roboto Variable Font. I have embedded it into my application via CSS. It seems however, to only use the Regular variant.
Specifying font weight (numerical values) does not change the rendered font. I want to be able to use thin (100) all to black (900) font weights.
I also tried using different fonts for different variations, but I couldn't declare any weight that was not bold. I did something like this:
@font-face { //Valid and reflects style
font-family: "Roboto";
src: url("res/Roboto-BoldItalic.otf") format("opentype");
font-weight: bold;
font-style: italic;
}
@font-face {
font-family: "Roboto";
src: url("res/Roboto-BlackItalic.otf") format("opentype");
font-weight: extra_bold; //Invalid even when I use 900 (numerical value for extra bold)
font-style: italic;
}
I'd like to use the variable font (because the size is smaller) but if I can get it to work with using multiple fonts, i'll take it at this time.
How should I go about it?
