Use a custom font in your APL Document

Create even more engaging APL documents with a custom font. With custom fonts, you can create stunning splash screens or enhance your headlines.

How does it work?

First, the points of each glyph are extracted from the font and converted to paths, in parallel an APL package is dynamically generated containing the converted paths, in addition a generic text component (YourFontnameText) is generated for this font which translates the characters you specify (using the text property) into vector graphic components.

Rendering vector graphics is a very expensive operation. To guarantee the best possible user experience in your skill, you should therefore reduce the use of custom fonts to a minimum. Larger texts consisting of several hundred characters should not be converted with it.

WOFF, OTF, TTF file formats are supported.

Customize your APL package

At this point you can make some adjustments to your newly generated APL package.

Name of the font to use, this name is used to create an APL text component that you will use later in your APL document.

Glyphs to be included in your APL package. The more glyphs are included in your APL package, the bigger it gets. Adjust the list of glyphs to optimize the file size.

Glyphs optimization. Polyline simplification dramatically reduces the number of points in a polyline while retaining its shape, giving a huge performance boost when processing it and also reducing visual noise.
