Fabric.js + Google Fonts

Is that possible to use Fabric.js with web fonts, without attaching Cufon library and its fonts? I can easily do it with standard canvas functionality so I wonder if it's possible in Fabric.

I had the problem just this time.

You have to load the font in dom before you can use it in canvas with fabric.

So you can create an element, wich has the style attribute with the font you want.

For some my solotion may be interesting. I create a select where the user can select the font. In this select each get the attribute font-family.

Look at this: enter image description here

Why a new answer? Because the key in the store is the font, which was not mentioned directly.

First link the google font in the <head>

<link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Oswald|Lobster|Fontdiner+Swanky|Crafty+Girls|Pacifico|Satisfy|Gloria+Hallelujah|Bangers|Audiowide|Sacramento' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>

Create a div/span

<span class="txtFont" style="font-family:Oswald" onclick="change_font_family('Oswald')">Oswald</span>

In Javascript

function change_font_family(font_family)
{
   canvas.getActiveObject().set("fontFamily", font_family);
   canvas.renderAll();
}

We're planning to ditch Cufon soon, in favor of native text methods. We incorporated Cufon ~2 years back when native text methods weren't very cross-browser available (see this test of mine from back in the days). Once we drop it, it will probably be an optional module, for cases when compatibility in older clients is important.
