The Americana fontstack is built from Google Fonts. The name "fontstack66" is a nod to Historic Route 66.
glyphs: "https://font.americanamap.org/{fontstack}/{range}.pbf"Then, in a maplibre-gl stylesheet, you can use the packaged fonts like such:
"text-font": ["Americana-Bold"]In order to add fontstack support, modify the fonts.json file as follows:
- Add font-family and variant information to the
font-familiessection. The font-family is the name of the font as listed on Google Fonts, e.g. "Noto Sans". Usegfi download "<name of font>"to get a full list of the variants. The variant is everything to the right of the dash in the filename, so if a file is namedNotoSans-700.ttf, the variant is700, though it will be listed in Google as something like "Bold 700". Thegficommand requires you to install thegoogle-font-installerpackage into npm withnpm install -g google-font-installer. - Define the range of characters that you want rendered in this font in the
glyph-rangessection. Since this is JSON, you'll have to convert hex to decimal here. The named parameter is simply a name that is used in the rest of the file to refer to this range of characters. This is an inclusive range so for example[0, 255]will include codepoint 0 and codepoint 255. - The
custom-font-stackssection lists each font-stack and which font/glyph range combinations should be included in that fontstack. - The
bundle-font-stackssection lists all font stacks which should be bundled in their original form.
