Question

Is it possible to specify a font using CSS in JavaFX application? I have an FXML scene and the corresponding CSS file. In Java code, it’s possible to specify a font using the setFont method:

text.setFont(Font.loadFont("file:resources/fonts/SourceSansPro-Bold.ttf", 12));

I tried different constructions, like:

-fx-font-family: url("../fonts/SourceSansPro-Bold.ttf");

But it doesn’t work.

You were close to the solution:

-fx-font-family: 'Helvetica', Arial, sans-serif;

Try this, it should work fine.

Maybe this could help? (I’m not an expert in JavaFX)

EDIT:

Load your font:

@font-face {
    font-family: Delicious;
    src: url('Delicious-Roman.otf');
}

Use your font with -fx-:

-fx-font-family: 'Delicious';
