Fonts

Inter.css

Inter.css is a local copy of https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Inter:300,300i,400,400i,700,700i, modified to pull font files (.woff2) from local sources. It was created using download_google_fonts_css.py.

download_google_fonts_css.py

download_google_fonts_css.py is a script that takes a google fonts CSS URL, downloads the file and linked fonts, then saves the fonts locally along with a modified CSS file to load them. Example call:

python3 download_google_fonts_css.py \
  "https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Inter:300,300i,400,400i,700,700i" \
  ../../../static/fonts \
  ../../fonts 

Which would pop out a Inter.css file that should be @import url("Inter.css")d somewhere in the site's SCSS (currently in /assets/scss/_variables_project.scss).

Re-running the script and committing any new files is only necessary when a desired font updates (not very often), or we want to change the font we're using. In that case, remove the existing font files at /static/fonts/*.woff2 and re-run the script with a different URL.
