installFonts {#installfonts}

This hook installs common font formats to the proper location. In its default state, the hook automatically handles ttf, ttc, otf, bdf, and psf. Given a webfont output, woff and woff2 formats will be installed under this output.

The automatic behavior of the hook can be disabled by setting the dontInstallFonts variable to true.

Additionally, it exposes the installFont function that can be used from your postInstall hook, to install additional formats:

installFont {#installfonts-installfont}

The installFont function takes two arguments, a file extension to move (without a preceding dot), and the install location.

Example Usage {#installfonts-installfont-exampleusage}
