# load-bmfont

[](http://github.com/badges/stability-badges)
|
|
|
|
Loads an [AngelCode BMFont](http://www.angelcode.com/products/bmfont/) file from XHR (in browser) and fs (in Node), returning a [JSON representation](json-spec.md).
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
var load = require('load-bmfont')
|
|
|
|
load('fonts/Arial-32.fnt', function(err, font) {
|
|
if (err)
|
|
throw err
|
|
|
|
//The BMFont spec in JSON form
|
|
console.log(font.common.lineHeight)
|
|
console.log(font.info)
|
|
console.log(font.chars)
|
|
console.log(font.kernings)
|
|
})
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Currently supported BMFont formats:
|
|
|
|
- ASCII (text)
|
|
- JSON
|
|
- XML
|
|
- binary
|

## Usage
|
|
|
|
[](https://www.npmjs.com/package/load-bmfont)
|
|
|
|
#### `load(opt, cb)`
|
|
|
|
Loads a BMFont file with the `opt` settings and fires the callback with `(err, font)` params once finished. If `opt` is a string, it is used as the URI. Otherwise the options can be:
|
|
|
|
- `uri` or `url` the path (in Node) or URI (in the browser)
|
|
- `binary` boolean, whether the data should be read as binary, default false
|
|
- (in node) options for `fs.readFile`
|
|
- (in browser) options for [xhr](https://github.com/Raynos/xhr)
|
|
|
|
To support binary files in the browser and Node, you should use `binary: true`. Otherwise the XHR request might come in the form of a UTF8 string, which will not work with binary files. This also sets up the XHR object to override mime type in older browsers.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
load({
|
|
uri: 'fonts/Arial.bin',
|
|
binary: true
|
|
}, function(err, font) {
|
|
console.log(font)
|
|
})
|
|
```
