ok gotcha. but the for-tpl above, that's not just the unfinished registry part is it? because the way it stands now font properties like weight are all handled by basically by defining a unique font family right? Or is there a way to specify an "anonymous" font family and that loop just handles the registry stuff?

this way you can specify, when constructing a font, what the bold and italicized faces are and they can be requested as needed on the fly. i consequently need to simplify that nested map you're looking at, although it will still exist conceptually in font files and local font names.

I need to read that w3 font document you link to i don't have a great understanding of it

as i recall, since i wasn't actually using that map yet, i hardcoded each font at the the same :normal :400 :regular path.

what happens now, does your font simply not appear?

yes

isn't that for-tpl loop the only place font-families are actually definied?

yes, that generates the font-family style

i'm taking a peek at the code now

and doesn't the font family need to be defined there in order for it to be set as the font-family via :tf?

yeah, if the cell is returning nil you've isolated the problem

ok cool

I wasn't sure if I was missing something, which is still entirely possible haha

Unfortunately I have to run out in a few minutes but will look at it more later

although, one last thing for now, even when i change the hardcoded vector to [:normal :700 :regular], and get a non-nil value i'm still not getting a bold font. the resulting @font-face line is then @font-face{font-family:font-6;src:url(':sans-serif') format('generic');}

what does :javelin.core/none mean?

@jab i had another look at your problem and just noticed u have extra parens around the :on-jsload option: https://github.com/jab/uproxy-manager/blob/master/build.boot#L69

btw, you should also update your deps. latest boot-reload is 0.5.1 for example
