I went through the very interesting thread: https://forum.getpublii.com/topic/where-should-the-font-files-be-put-if-self-host-google-fonts/

It’s a bit too technical for me though, and might be superseded by the docs: https://getpublii.com/docs/fonts.html

Splendid fonts are self hosted automatically 😀

However, there is this one font I’d really like to use which is not in the list 😯

Where should I put the font file for it to be shown in the section: custom settings > fonts

Thanks!

And I did look at that page … 😯 How could I have missed it! Thank you!

I presume from what I read when a font has italic, bold, bolditalic and regular versions one uses the regular version only?

Additional question: how does one find the font weight? I think I understand “regular” is normally 400 and “bold” is normally 700, but I am way out of my depth here!

Read a bit about variable fonts and everything will become clear 🙂

Variable fonts are a type of font that allows for multiple variations of a typeface within a single font file. This technology enables a significant reduction in file size compared to having separate files for each style. Variable fonts can include variations in weight, width, slant, and other attributes, all controllable via CSS.
