I have moved from the 'Intel XDK' to 'cocoon.io' because I was getting poor performance with high-dpi on XDK.

After making the switch I am happy with the performance of cocoon.io canvas+ however the custom fonts no longer work, and i used all this .tiff .eog and stylesheet files but it still doesn't work. any help would be appreciated.

For static text i just set it up in photoshop as an image, if you need dynamic text i dont know how to do that because fonts dont seem to work for me.

You can use sprite fonts if that helps... it renders faster than normal text object anyway and gives you full control over how your fonts look.

SinisterWasp — ,
Thanks for the responses. I had to use Sprite Fonts indeed - but it is a pain in the ass to use when it gets to color changing and spacing/kerning. It is a lot of hair pulling, but a way to go. Hope ludei will make web fonts supported one day.

Do not use Text objects in Canvas+!

This will cause extremely high cpu usage.

Just replace all text objects with "SpriteFont+", the default SpriteFont plugin has offsets between each chars and looks odd..

You can use this template.

It works perfect with CocoonIO.

You can then use WebView instead. But I personally recommend you to replace all Text objects with SpriteFont(+) objects and to use Canvas+ as engine.
