The following lists validation errors specific to the amp-font tag
(see also amp-font in the AMP validator specification):
| Validation Error | Description |
|---|---|
| The 'example1' tag is missing or incorrect, but required by 'example2'. | Error thrown when required amp-font extension .js script tag is missing or incorrect. |
| The mandatory attribute 'example1' is missing in tag 'example2'. | Error thrown when font-family attribute is missing. |
| The attribute 'example1' in tag 'example2' is set to the invalid value 'example3'. | Error thrown when the timeout attribute is not a positive integer. |
| The implied layout 'example1' is not supported by tag 'example2'. | The only supported layout type is NODISPLAY. Error thrown if implied layout is any other value. |
| The specified layout 'example1' is not supported by tag 'example2'. | The only supported layout type is NODISPLAY. Error thrown if specified layout is any other value. |
The amp-font extension should be used for controlling timeouts on font loading.
The amp-font extension allows adding and removing CSS classes from document.documentElement based on whether a font was loaded or is in error-state.
Example:
<amp-font
layout="nodisplay"
font-family="My Font"
timeout="3000"
on-error-remove-class="my-font-loading"
on-error-add-class="my-font-missing"></amp-font>
<amp-font
layout="nodisplay"
font-family="My Other Font"
timeout="1000"
on-load-add-class="my-other-font-loaded"
on-load-remove-class="my-other-font-loading"></amp-font>The extension observes loading of a font and when it loads executes the optional attributes on-load-add-class and on-load-remove-class and when there is any error or timeout runs on-error-remove-class and on-error-add-class.
Using these classes authors can guard whether a font is displayed and get the following results:
- get a short (e.g. 3000ms) timeout in Safari similar to other browsers
- implement FOIT where the page renders with no text before the font comes in
- make the timeout very short and only use a font if it was already cached.
The amp-font extension accepts the layout value: nodisplay
font-family
The font-family of the custom font being loaded.
timeout
Time in milliseconds after which the we don't wait for the custom font to be available. This attribute is optional and it's default value is 3000. If the timeout is set to 0 then the amp-font loads the font if it is already in the cache, otherwise the font would not be loaded. If the timeout is has an invalid value then the timeout defaults to 3000.
on-load-add-class
CSS class that would be added to the document.documentElement after making sure that the custom font is available for display. This attribute is optional.
on-load-remove-class
CSS class that would be removed from the document.documentElement and document.body after making sure that the custom font is available for display. This attribute is optional.
on-error-add-class
CSS class that would be added to the document.documentElement, if the timeout interval runs out before the font becomes available for use. This attribute is optional.
on-error-remove-class
CSS class that would be removed from the document.documentElement and document.body , if the timeout interval runs out before the font becomes available for use. This attribute is optional.
font-weight, font-style, font-variant
The attributes above should all behave like they do on standard elements.
