phaser3-webfont-loader v1.0.0

Phaser 3 Webfont Loader

A webfont loader for Phaser 3 that uses CSS @font-face to download the font and FontFaceSet to trigger / detect the load.

If the browser does not support FontFaceSet (see compatability table) the loader will attempt to inject an invisible HTML element into the page to trigger the browser to download the font file. A delay of 50ms is waited for before loading completes and the element removed. This delay is configurable in Loader Config
