Configuring fonts and glyphs for MapLibre GL JS and MapLibre Native — the style's `glyphs` URL, self-hosting or generating font PBFs, the GL JS local-font fallback (omitted `glyphs` or a failed glyph fetch), the `font-faces` property both SDKs read, and CJK, right-to-left and Devanagari script handling. Use when text labels aren't rendering in the intended font, setting up a glyphs server, choosing between self-hosting and generating font PBFs, or handling non-Latin scripts.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# MapLibre Fonts and Glyphs

MapLibre draws label text from precomputed glyph images that a server provides, or, for some scripts and setups, with local or web fonts. This skill covers where glyphs come from, the GL JS local-font fallback, the `font-faces` property, and non-Latin script support. For font sizing, weight, and other visual-hierarchy decisions, see [maplibre-cartography](../maplibre-cartography/SKILL.md).

## When to Use This Skill

- Text labels aren't rendering, or render in the wrong font
- Setting up a `glyphs` URL for a custom or self-hosted style
- Deciding whether to self-host existing font PBFs or generate your own from a TTF/OTF
- Rendering non-Latin scripts (CJK, Arabic, Hebrew, Devanagari, and others)
- Rendering fonts locally/offline without a glyphs server, on GL JS or Native

**Don't use this skill to pad an unrelated answer.** Fonts and glyphs only affect symbol layers that set `text-field`. A question about terrain, hillshade, or any other layer that draws no text gets a normal, focused answer that leaves fonts, glyphs, `font-faces`, and label scripts out entirely, caveats, troubleshooting rows, and optional label sections included.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add maplibre/maplibre-agent-skills/maplibre-fonts-glyphs@sha256:0d42a27a5e34f506

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261026.79df4b0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
