[P5] Is there a default font provided by WEB?
In ‘Processing-P5’, you can load a font with ‘loadFont’.
Example source code:
let myFont;
function preload() {
myFont = loadFont('assets/inconsolata.otf');
}
However, since the capacity of the font is large, if it is loaded as above, loading will be longer. So, users may feel stuffy.
In ‘JAVA Mode’, you can search for the default font.
String[] fontList = PFont.list();
printArray(fontList);
In conclusion, is there a way to search or find the default font in ‘Processing-P5’?

Hi @GWAK ,
In the documentation page of textFont()
If textFont() is called without any argument, it will return the current font if one has been set already.
So you can try:
console.log(textFont());
// => sans-serif
You can also look in the source code where they set the default font for the canvas drawing context :
}
getFilterGraphicsLayer() {
// create hidden webgl renderer if it doesn't exist
if (!this.filterGraphicsLayer) {
// the real _pInst is buried when this is a secondary p5.Graphics
const pInst =
this._pInst instanceof p5.Graphics ?
this._pInst._pInst :
this._pInst;
// create secondary layer
this.filterGraphicsLayer =
new p5.Graphics(
this.width,
this.height,
constants.WEBGL,
pInst
);
}

Thanks for your reply.
However, the reason I uploaded this is that when the font is loaded, the loading time becomes longer due to the file size.

Oh my bad I understand what you mean now!
You might want to look at Web safe fonts which are fonts that are commonly accessible on most operating systems without having to load them.
