+1 I can understand if author doesn't know how to use npm just for fonts yknow but he should definitely look to your comment and respond what his opinions are on the matter

Definitely curious as this seems a much better way to handle things ergonomically instead of the way author suggested way

I also feel like hosting your own cdn is definitely easy with this by just downloading npm package or embedding it directly I suppose?

There are definitely other ways to do this too. This discussion was really fun as I saw so many ways to embed fonts other than what I had known but this seems to be a mix and match between privacy and not having to embed it myself.
