SVG Font Previewer

Build Status

SVG Font Previewer is built for viewing SVG files, especially SVG font files.

Requirements

  • This depends on xmldom npm library
  • It currently makes use of vscode webview interface.
  • SVG file should meet this criteria for it to work with this extension, resourceLangId == svg or resourceLangId == xml and fileExtension == .svg

Extension Settings

This extension contributes the following settings:

  • svg-font-previewer.iconSortOrder: enum[asc, desc]
    • asc: (default) ascending sort order (small comes first e.g. 0 > 9 > A > Z > a > z)
    • desc: descending sort order (larger comes first e.g. z > a > Z > A > 9 > 0)
  • svg-font-previewer.iconSortBy: enum[unicode, name, none]
    • none: (default) do not sort at all
    • unicode: the icon unicode
    • name: the icon name
  • svg-font-previewer.autoOpenPreview: boolean
    • true: (default) also open the SVG preview when opening the SVG file.
      • This was done so that people can preview SVG automatically just by installing this extension. Then they'll learn to turn it off them selves if they want to
    • false: don't automatically open the SVG preview when opening the SVG file.

Features

This extension supports viewing SVG Fonts and SVG images

  • For SVG font it will show the font name, em size scale, font icons.
  • For other SVGs it will just show preview of the SVG as an image.
  • I wish i can say it previews any SVG file. 😉

Known Issues

  • The command is available for any XML document, still investigating if there's a way to make this extension only work for SVG's without loosing the native VSCode XML support.

  • If there's a wide icon from the font file, then that icon will flow over icons on the right.

    • [Workaround] If this hides some icons then, resizing the preview window may help.

Release Notes

  • Quickly preview the font details and how the actual SVG font icons look like.
  • Sort the icons preview by icon names or by icon unicode in ascending or descending order.
