### Build a Font Picker UI

Source: https://context7.com/wicg/local-font-access/llms.txt

Creates a dynamic dropdown interface to select and apply local fonts using the @font-face rule.

```javascript
// Complete font picker implementation
async function createFontPicker(containerElement) {
  const fonts = await window.queryLocalFonts();

  // Create UI elements
  const select = document.createElement('select');
  const preview = document.createElement('p');
  const style = document.createElement('style');

  preview.id = 'fontPreview';
  preview.textContent = 'The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog';
  preview.style.fontSize = '24px';
  preview.style.fontFamily = 'dynamic-font';

  // Populate dropdown with font options
  fonts.forEach(font => {
    const option = document.createElement('option');
    option.value = font.postscriptName;
    option.textContent = `${font.fullName} (${font.family} - ${font.style})`;
    select.appendChild(option);
  });

  // Handle font selection
  select.addEventListener('change', (e) => {
    const postscriptName = e.target.value;

    // Update @font-face to use selected local font
    style.textContent = `
      @font-face {
        font-family: "dynamic-font";
        src: local("${postscriptName}");
      }
    `;

    console.log(`Applied font: ${postscriptName}`);
  });

  // Initialize with first font
  if (fonts.length > 0) {
    select.dispatchEvent(new Event('change'));
  }

  containerElement.appendChild(style);
  containerElement.appendChild(select);
  containerElement.appendChild(preview);

  return { select, preview, fonts };
}

// Usage
document.getElementById('loadFonts').onclick = () => {
  createFontPicker(document.getElementById('pickerContainer'));
};
```

### Style Text Using Available Local Fonts

Source: https://github.com/wicg/local-font-access/blob/main/README.md

This snippet shows how to style text using local fonts. It queries for available fonts, creates a dropdown for font selection, and dynamically applies styles using @font-face with local font matching. User activation is required.

```javascript
// User activation is required.
useLocalFontsButton.onclick = async function() {

  try {
    // Query for allowed local fonts.
    const array = await self.queryLocalFonts();

    // Create an element to style.
    const exampleText = document.createElement("p");
    exampleText.id = "exampleText";
    exampleText.innerText = "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog";
    exampleText.style.fontFamily = "dynamic-font";

    // Create a list of fonts to select from, and a selection handler.
    const textStyle = document.createElement("style");
    const fontSelect = document.createElement("select");
    fontSelect.onchange = e => {
      console.log("selected:", fontSelect.value);
      // An example of styling using @font-face src: local matching.
      textStyle.textContent = `
        @font-face {
          font-family: "dynamic-font";
          src: local("${postscriptName}");
        }`;
    };

    // Populate the list with the available fonts.
    array.forEach(metadata => {
      const option = document.createElement("option");
      option.text = metadata.fullName;
      // postscriptName works well as an identifier of sorts.
      // It is unique as returned by the API, the OpenType spec expects
      // it to be in ASCII, and it can be used by @font-face src: local
      // matching to be used to style elements.
      option.value = metadata.postscriptName;
      fontSelect.append(option);
    });

    // Add all of the elements to the page.
    document.body.appendChild(textStyle);
    document.body.appendChild(exampleText);
    document.body.appendChild(fontSelect);
  } catch(e) {
    // Handle error, e.g. user cancelled the operation.
    console.warn(`Local font access not available: ${e.message}`);
  }
};

```

--------------------------------

### Asynchronously Query and Iterate Local Fonts

Source: https://github.com/wicg/local-font-access/blob/main/README.md

This snippet demonstrates how to asynchronously query for available local fonts and iterate through their metadata. User activation is required to initiate the query. Errors, such as user cancellation, are handled.

```javascript
// Asynchronous Query and Iteration

// User activation is required.
showLocalFontsButton.onclick = async function() {
  // This sketch returns individual FontMetadata instances rather than families:
  // In the future, query() could take filters e.g. family name, and/or options
  // e.g. locale.
  try {
    const array = await self.queryLocalFonts();

    array.forEach(metadata => {
      console.log(metadata.postscriptName);
      console.log(` full name: ${metadata.fullName}`);
      console.log(` family: ${metadata.family}`);
      console.log(` style: ${metadata.style}`);

      console.log(` italic: ${metadata.italic}`);
      console.log(` stretch: ${metadata.stretch}`);
      console.log(` weight: ${metadata.weight}`);
    });
   } catch(e) {
    // Handle error, e.g. user cancelled the operation.
    console.warn(`Local font access not available: ${e.message}`);
  }
};

```

--------------------------------

### Verify Local Font Access Environment

Source: https://context7.com/wicg/local-font-access/llms.txt

Check for secure context, API support, and iframe permission status before attempting to query fonts.

```javascript
// Check if running in allowed context
function checkFontAccessAllowed() {
  // Verify secure context
  if (!window.isSecureContext) {
    console.error('Local Font Access requires secure context (HTTPS)');
    return false;
  }

  // Verify API availability
  if (typeof window.queryLocalFonts !== 'function') {
    console.error('Local Font Access API not supported');
    return false;
  }

  // Check if in cross-origin iframe without permission
  if (window.self !== window.top) {
    console.log('Running in iframe - ensure allow="local-fonts" is set');
  }

  return true;
}
```

--------------------------------

### Enumerate All Local Fonts

Source: https://context7.com/wicg/local-font-access/llms.txt

Lists all available local fonts with their metadata. Requires transient user activation and secure context. Handles potential security and permission errors.

```javascript
async function enumerateAllFonts() {
  try {
    const fonts = await window.queryLocalFonts();

    fonts.forEach(font => {
      console.log(`PostScript Name: ${font.postscriptName}`);
      console.log(`Full Name: ${font.fullName}`);
      console.log(`Family: ${font.family}`);
      console.log(`Style: ${font.style}`);
      console.log('---');
    });

    return fonts;
  } catch (error) {
    if (error.name === 'SecurityError') {
      console.error('Permission denied or not in secure context');
    } else if (error.name === 'NotAllowedError') {
      console.error('User denied font access permission');
    }
    throw error;
  }
}

// Attach to button click (requires user activation)
document.getElementById('listFontsBtn').addEventListener('click', enumerateAllFonts);
```

--------------------------------

### Use Font Data with WebAssembly

Source: https://context7.com/wicg/local-font-access/llms.txt

Loads local font binary data into a WebAssembly module for advanced text processing.

```javascript
// Load font into a WASM text rendering library
async function loadFontIntoWasm(harfbuzzModule) {
  const fonts = await window.queryLocalFonts({
    postscriptNames: ['Arial-BoldMT']
  });

  if (fonts.length === 0) {
    throw new Error('Requested font not available');
  }

  const font = fonts[0];
  const blob = await font.blob();
  const arrayBuffer = await blob.arrayBuffer();
  const fontData = new Uint8Array(arrayBuffer);

  // Allocate memory in WASM heap
  const fontPtr = harfbuzzModule._malloc(fontData.length);
  harfbuzzModule.HEAPU8.set(fontData, fontPtr);

  // Create HarfBuzz font face
  const hbBlob = harfbuzzModule._hb_blob_create(
    fontPtr,
    fontData.length,
    2, // HB_MEMORY_MODE_WRITABLE
    fontPtr,
    harfbuzzModule._free
  );

  const hbFace = harfbuzzModule._hb_face_create(hbBlob, 0);
  const hbFont = harfbuzzModule._hb_font_create(hbFace);

  console.log(`Loaded ${font.fullName} into HarfBuzz`);

  return {
    font: hbFont,
    face: hbFace,
    blob: hbBlob,
    metadata: {
      postscriptName: font.postscriptName,
      fullName: font.fullName,
      family: font.family,
      style: font.style,
      size: fontData.length
    }
  };
}
```

--------------------------------

### Configure Permissions Policy for Local Font Access

Source: https://context7.com/wicg/local-font-access/llms.txt

Use the allow attribute in iframes or HTTP headers to grant access to local fonts in cross-origin contexts.

```html
<!-- Parent page: Enable local-fonts for specific iframe -->
<iframe
  src="https://trusted-design-tool.example.com/editor"
  allow="local-fonts"
  width="100%"
  height="600">
</iframe>

<!-- HTTP header to completely disable local font access -->
<!-- Permissions-Policy: local-fonts=() -->

<!-- HTTP header to allow specific origins -->
<!-- Permissions-Policy: local-fonts=(self "https://trusted-site.com") -->
```

--------------------------------

### Accessing Full Font Data

Source: https://github.com/wicg/local-font-access/blob/main/README.md

Uses the FontMetadata blob() method to retrieve raw SFNT font data. Requires user activation and handles potential permission errors.

```javascript
// User activation is required.
useLocalFontsButton.onclick = async function() {
  // This sketch returns individual FontMetadata instances rather than families:
  // In the future, query() could take filters e.g. family name, and/or options
  // e.g. locale. A user agent may return all fonts, or show UI allowing selection
  // of a subset of fonts.
  try {
    const array = await self.queryLocalFonts();

    array.forEach(metadata => {
      // blob() returns a Blob containing valid and complete SFNT
      // wrapped font data.
      const sfnt = await metadata.blob();

      // Slice out only the bytes we need: the first 4 bytes are the SFNT
      // version info.
      // Spec: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/typography/opentype/spec/otff#organization-of-an-opentype-font
      const sfntVersion = await sfnt.slice(0, 4).text();

      let outlineFormat = "UNKNOWN";
      switch (sfntVersion) {
        case '\x00\x01\x00\x00':
        case 'true':
        case 'typ1':
          outlineFormat = "truetype";
          break;
        case 'OTTO':
          outlineFormat = "cff";
          break;
      }
      console.log(`${metadata.fullName} outline format: ${outlineFormat}`);
    }
  } catch(e) {
    // Handle error. It could be a permission error.
    console.warn(`Local font access not available: ${e.message}`);
  }
};
```

--------------------------------

### Check Permission Status

Source: https://context7.com/wicg/local-font-access/llms.txt

Queries the Permissions API to determine if local font access is granted, denied, or requires a prompt.

```javascript
// Check and handle permission states
async function checkFontPermission() {
  try {
    const status = await navigator.permissions.query({ name: 'local-fonts' });

    console.log(`Current permission state: ${status.state}`);

    // React to current state
    switch (status.state) {
      case 'granted':
        console.log('Font access already granted - can enumerate fonts');
        return true;
      case 'prompt':
        console.log('User will be prompted for permission');
        return null;
      case 'denied':
        console.log('Font access denied - show fallback UI');
        return false;
    }

    // Listen for permission changes
    status.addEventListener('change', () => {
      console.log(`Permission changed to: ${status.state}`);
      updateUIForPermissionState(status.state);
    });

    return status.state;
  } catch (error) {
    console.error('Permissions API not supported:', error);
    return null;
  }
}

function updateUIForPermissionState(state) {
  const fontPickerUI = document.getElementById('fontPicker');
  const fallbackUI = document.getElementById('fallbackFonts');

  if (state === 'granted') {
    fontPickerUI.style.display = 'block';
    fallbackUI.style.display = 'none';
  } else {
    fontPickerUI.style.display = 'none';
    fallbackUI.style.display = 'block';
  }
}
```

--------------------------------

### Requesting Specific Fonts

Source: https://github.com/wicg/local-font-access/blob/main/README.md

Queries local fonts filtered by specific PostScript names. Only fonts matching the provided list are returned.

```javascript
// User activation is required.
requestFontsButton.onclick = async function() {
  try {
    const array = await self.queryLocalFonts({postscriptNames: ['Verdana', 'Verdana-Bold', 'Verdana-Italic']});

    array.forEach(metadata => {
      console.log(`Access granted for ${metadata.postscriptName}`);
    });

  } catch(e) {
    // Handle error. It could be a permission error.
    console.warn(`Local font access not available: ${e.message}`);
  }
};
```

--------------------------------

### Request Specific Fonts by PostScript Name

Source: https://context7.com/wicg/local-font-access/llms.txt

Requests access to a predefined list of fonts using their PostScript names. This may streamline the user permission flow. Logs granted and missing fonts.

```javascript
async function requestSpecificFonts() {
  const requestedFonts = ['Verdana', 'Verdana-Bold', 'Verdana-Italic', 'Arial-BoldMT'];

  try {
    const fonts = await window.queryLocalFonts({
      postscriptNames: requestedFonts
    });

    // Check which fonts were granted
    const grantedNames = fonts.map(f => f.postscriptName);
    console.log('Granted fonts:', grantedNames);

    // Check for missing fonts
    const missingFonts = requestedFonts.filter(name => !grantedNames.includes(name));
    if (missingFonts.length > 0) {
      console.warn('Fonts not available:', missingFonts);
    }

    return fonts;
  } catch (error) {
    console.error('Font access failed:', error.message);
    throw error;
  }
}
```

### Access Raw Font Data (Blob)

Source: https://context7.com/wicg/local-font-access/llms.txt

Retrieves the raw binary data of a font as a Blob. Inspects the first few bytes of the font data to determine its outline format (CFF or TrueType).

```javascript
async function inspectFontData() {
  const fonts = await window.queryLocalFonts();

  for (const font of fonts) {
    const blob = await font.blob();

    // Read the first 4 bytes to determine outline format
    const headerBytes = await blob.slice(0, 4).arrayBuffer();
    const header = new Uint8Array(headerBytes);
    const sfntVersion = String.fromCharCode(...header);

    let outlineFormat;
    if (sfntVersion === 'OTTO') {
      outlineFormat = 'CFF (PostScript outlines)';
    } else if (header[0] === 0x00 && header[1] === 0x01 &&
               header[2] === 0x00 && header[3] === 0x00) {
      outlineFormat = 'TrueType outlines';
    } else if (sfntVersion === 'true' || sfntVersion === 'typ1') {
      outlineFormat = 'TrueType outlines (legacy)';
    } else {
      outlineFormat = 'Unknown format';
    }

    console.log(`${font.fullName}`)
    console.log(`  Size: ${blob.size} bytes`);
    console.log(`  Format: ${outlineFormat}`);
    console.log(`  MIME Type: ${blob.type}`);
  }
}
```

--------------------------------

### FontData.blob()
