To link an external .otf file in p5.js, you can use the loadFont() function to load the font file asynchronously. Here's an example of how you can do this:

  1. Upload your .otf font file to a web server or hosting service.
  2. Add the following code to your p5.js sketch:
 1
 2
 3
 4
 5
 6
 7
 8
 9
10
11
12
let font;

function preload() {
  font = loadFont('path/to/your/font.otf');
}

function setup() {
  createCanvas(400, 400);
  textFont(font);
  textSize(32);
  text('Hello, p5.js!', 50, 50);
}


Replace 'path/to/your/font.otf' with the actual path to your .otf font file. Make sure to provide the correct path relative to the sketch's location.

  1. Run your p5.js sketch, and you should see the text rendered using the external .otf font you linked.


This is how you can link an external .otf file in p5.js.
