The Problem

wkhtmltopdf is broken and cannot render multiple fonts because of some issues around names. See wkhtmltopdf/wkhtmltopdf#2435

Workaround

1. Pick an 8 or less char name for each font and variation e.g. HelvBold, HelvLite, TimeReg
2. Every variation needs to be a separate font file, with all the details renamed in Font Forge using the short name determined before.
3. Give the font files the same short name (e.g. HelvBold.ttf)

Important: At the time of writing (2019-11-11) Immutable.js is effectively abandonware, so I can no longer recommend anyone to follow the advice given here. I'll leave the article here for posterity, since it's still getting some traffic.

Understanding Immutable.Record

Functional programming principles and with it immutable data are changing the way we write frontend applications. If the recent de-facto frontend stack of React and Redux feels like it goes perfectly together with immutable data, that's because it's specifically designed for that.

There's several interesting implementations of immutable data for JavaScript, but here I'll be focusing on Facebook's own Immutable.js, and specifically on one of i

Long Live Icon Fonts!

or, a Quick PSA on icon fonts and ligatures.

tl;dr: keep using icon fonts, they are nice, just enable ligatures

These are my talking notes at the http://wwweeklies.com/ on 2015-12-04:

• This Seriously, Don’t Use Icon Fonts post came out
• This I agree with: SVG is really nice for the Web

What forces layout / reflow

All of the below properties or methods, when requested/called in JavaScript, will trigger the browser to synchronously calculate the style and layout*. This is also called reflow or layout thrashing, and is common performance bottleneck.

Generally, all APIs that synchronously provide layout metrics will trigger forced reflow / layout. Read on for additional cases and details.

Element APIs

Getting box metrics

• elem.offsetLeft, elem.offsetTop, elem.offsetWidth, elem.offsetHeight, elem.offsetParent

Notice

This script is no longer required with Docker for Mac which includes an option to run Docker at startup and doesn't use docker-machine to administer the local Docker engine.

Requirements

• Docker Machine + Docker
• curl
• A Virtualbox-driven Docker Machine called "default" docker-machine create --driver virtualbox default (this is the default with Docker toolkit).

The 0.13.0 improvements to React Components are often framed as "es6 classes" but being able to use the new class syntax isn't really the big change. The main thing of note in 0.13 is that React Components are no longer special objects that need to be created using a specific method (createClass()). One of the benefits of this change is that you can use the es6 class syntax, but also tons of other patterns work as well!

Below are a few examples creating React components that all work as expected using a bunch of JS object creation patterns (https://github.com/getify/You-Dont-Know-JS/blob/master/this%20&%20object%20prototypes/ch4.md#mixins). All of the examples are of stateful components, and so need to delegate to React.Component for setState(), but if you have stateless components each patterns tends to get even simpler. The one major caveat with react components is that you need to assign props and context to the component instance otherwise the component will be static. The reason is
