使用JavaFX SceneBuilder的自定义字体

Question

JavaFX's SceneBuilder is very useful, but I want to add a custom font to it. In the past, this has worked, though I have no idea how. Screenshot:

Minecraftia is not in SceneBuilder as a default font, but it worked when I defined the Minecraftia font in CSS. I tried doing the same with the new font i want (Roboto), but it doesn't show up in SceneBuilder. I know that i could style the labels in CSS, but I liked it better when the font popped up in SceneBuilder. Does anyone know why/how custom fonts show up in SceneBuilder?

Since Java 8 JavaFX supports the @font-face rule that can be used to add fonts. As a first step the font file must be added to the application.

Once this is done the font can be defined in CSS by using the @font-face rule: in your case

@font-face {
    font-family: 'Roboto';
    src: url('Roboto-Medium.ttf');
}

.text {
    -fx-font-family: "Roboto";
}

Install the font to your system

In windows 7 you can just double click the true type font file and it will ask if you want to install it...
