Images and fonts

Images and fonts are kept on your device, not in a resume, and every resume on that device can use them. The same photograph does not have to be uploaded twice for two versions of a resume. They are added and used from the Assets tab in the Style pane, and the sidebar has an Images page and a Fonts page that hold the same libraries.

Images#

Add image takes a PNG, JPEG, WebP or GIF of up to 8 MB. SVG is not accepted: it has no fixed pixel size to reserve room for, and it can carry markup of its own. A resume prints a picture a few inches wide at most, so a larger file only makes every backup heavier. A file that is too large, or that is named like an image and is not one, is refused with a message that says what to do.

Select an image in the Assets tab to use it:

• Use as photo puts it beside your name in the header. Remove as photo takes it off again. The Photo settings in the Style tab, the shape and the size, apply once a photo is attached. See Design tokens.
• Section to insert into and Insert place it as a picture in that section. Rejarsume writes the ::image line for you, because an image's id belongs to this browser and cannot be written by hand. See Images and page breaks.
• Its name is a field, and renaming it changes only the name shown in the gallery.

An image used by no resume is marked as unused, and the Images page can filter to those with Unused. Nothing is deleted automatically, because an image can be unused only because it has not been placed yet.

Delete asks first. If a resume still uses the image, the dialog says that resume will show a missing image box where the picture was, and a missing image is a dashed box on the paper. If nothing uses it, deleting it frees the space it took on the device.

Fonts#

Three typefaces come with Rejarsume and need no upload: Source Serif 4, Instrument Sans and JetBrains Mono. The templates use them.

Add font takes a WOFF2, WOFF, TrueType or OpenType file of up to 4 MB, which is generous for one weight of a text face. The file is not trusted by its name. Rejarsume reads its first bytes to learn the format, and then hands it to the browser's own font parser, which is the same one that would later refuse it, so a bad file is refused when you add it and not by quietly printing in a different face.

The family, the weight and whether it is italic are read from the file's name and not from the font. A file called Lora-Bold.ttf is added as Lora at weight 700. The gallery shows the result, so a wrong guess is visible, and renaming the file before adding it puts it right. Several files of one family, such as a regular and an italic, are listed separately.

To use a font, either:

• in the Assets tab, choose Body or Headings on the font's card, or
• in the Style tab, pick it from Body font or Heading font, where your fonts are listed after the three built in.

Fonts and page breaks#

The paper is measured with the font already loaded, because a face swapped in afterwards would change the height of every line and so where pages break. Deleting a font that a resume uses makes that resume print in a fallback face, and its pages may break in different places. The delete dialog warns you.

Fonts in exports#

The font is embedded in an HTML export, so the file is complete without the web, and the PDF prints from that file. A system that reads the file and re-draws its text may use a face of its own instead, so the three built-in faces are the safer choice when a resume is going to a parser.
