Storing fonts locally using localStorage

Question

How can I use localStorage for storing .woff and .ttf files ? I don't want to use application cache. Help me. Thanks

Answer 1

localStorage is designed to store text key/value pairs, so if you want to save binary data you probably need to base64 encode the data. The size of the encoded binary data will be greater than the orginal size and the localStorage size is limited to a few MB (tipycally 5-10M). Probably it is not a good idea to save the font files in the localStorage.

Answer 2

You can store fonts in base64 data .

localStorage.font1 = string(base64 data of specified font)
