SVG Font Previewer

SVG Font Previewer is built for viewing SVG Font files only.

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[ascending, descending]
  • ascending: (default) ascending sort order (small comes first e.g. 0 -> 9 -> A -> Z -> a -> z)
  • descending: 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.

Known Issues

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