Syntax

js

load(font)
load(font, text)

Parameters

font

a font specification using the CSS value syntax, e.g. "italic bold 16px Roboto"

text

limit the font faces to those whose Unicode range contains at least one of the characters in text. This does not check for individual glyph coverage.

Return value

A Promise fulfilled with an Array of loaded FontFace objects. The promise is fulfilled when all the fonts are loaded; it is rejected if one of the fonts failed to load.
