Sass-FontImage
A small extension for SASS that generates images for icon fonts. This makes it easy to use an image font with :before and :after in browser that support and let's you generate the images on the fly for
browser who don't
Usage
We use sass from our custom build script so we add the Rack plugin ourselves. We currently don't support the default sass executable.
Setting up Sass-FontImage with the Rack plugin:
# This must be done AFTER you require 'sass/plugin/rack'
require 'sass-fontimage'
# ...
# Configure the path where sass-fontimage should write the images
# the path MUST exist.
Sass::Plugin.options[:custom] ||= {}
Sass::Plugin.options[:custom][:font_image_location] = "./html/images/fonts"
Syntax
background: font_image(CHARACTER, FONTSIZE, COLOR, RELATIVE_PATH_TO_FONT)
Example
background: font_image("\E006", 16px, #f00, "../fonts/testfont-regular.ttf")
