Making Own Font Ready For Phoca Font

For making a font ready for Phoca Font component, follow these steps:

1 Download a .ttf (.otf) or .eot font (e.g. YourFont.ttf)

2 If you are not able to download .eot font, then you need to create one - from .ttf (.otf) font, use e.g. this converter: https://www.kirsle.net/wizards/ttf2eot.cgi (this converter works only with .ttf, so if you have .otf font, just rename it temporarily to .ttf). Download newly created .eot file.

3 Download one of the Phoca Font fonts - e.g. phoca Domestic Manners font. Unzip this installation package to temporarily created folder on your PC - e.g. to font folder, the following files will be listed there:

Domestic_Manners.eot - remove this file and copy your .eot file instead (e.g. YourFont.eot)
Domestic_Manners.ttf - remove this file and copy your .ttf (.otf) file instead (e.g. YourFont.ttf)
Domestic_Manners_license.txt - rename this file to YourFontLicense.txt and fill the file with license text bundled with your selected font file
domesticmanners.xml - rename this file to yourfont.xml
index.html - leave this file unchanged.
