Embedded Fonts is not working #733

Description

@msykosch

The script is executed without error . Unfortunately, the command

ctx.font = 'bold 72px fontOpenSans';

is ignored and it will set the default font and size .

When Canvas is set to PDF mode , the font is also not set , nor embedded in the PDF document .

System: Ubuntu Server 14.04 / NodeJS 5.6 / node-canvas 1.3.12

Code-Snippet :

var Canvas = require('canvas')
, Font = Canvas.Font
, fs = require('fs');

if (!Font) {
throw new Error('Need to compile with font support');
}

var fontOpenSans = new Font('fontOpenSans', 'OpenSans-Regular.ttf');
fontOpenSans.addFace('OpenSans-Bold.ttf', 'bold');

var canvas = new Canvas(600,800);
var ctx = canvas.getContext('2d');

// Tell the ctx to use the font.
ctx.addFont(fontOpenSans);

ctx.font = 'bold 72px fontOpenSans';
ctx.fillText('Open Sans Dummy-Text', 50, 80);

fs.writeFile('font.png', canvas.toBuffer());
