Local Font Access API #241

Closed latin-1 closed 2 months ago

latin-1 commented 11 months ago

Description

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Local_Font_Access_API

Use Case

Thus we can use local fonts without uploading them.

GroophyLifefor commented 11 months ago

Browser compatibility seems not flexible enough. Othervise, good idea.

There is no actual standard yet, only a draft that only Chromium supports

I think using local fonts is fine as a fall-back mechanism. When accessing the web service from different client computers, or when working on documents in a collaborative way this could be problematic, though. The look of exported documents will vary depending on the fonts locally available at the client.

My preference would be to have some possibility to store fonts with my user account or team.

The combination of this being only a Chromium draft and the fact that is severy hurts reproducibility means we're not likely to pursue this.
