Extensions¶

mcfonts contains some specific extensions and features that are only recognized and available through mcfonts. Not all of these are backwards-compatible with Vanilla Minecraft.

Rangestrings in "spaces" provider¶

mcfonts allows the usage of uniranges in the keys of an "advances" dictionary in a Space provider.

{
    "type": "space",
    "advances": {
        "U+2000..U+200F": 3,
        "\u00ad": 0
    }
}

This does not affect how Minecraft sees the provider; if you want a conforming "spaces" provider, you will need to either:

1. Import the font and then save it; this will resolve the unirange to individual characters.

2. Provide keys for every specified space before the unirange; the unirange will override any previous fields.

Comments¶

mcfonts accepts an optional "comment" field in all providers. It must be a string. These comments are stored with the provider itself and will be saved when re-writing an imported font.
