There was a problem hiding this comment.
If we parse the ital,wght@0,300;0,400;0,700;1,400;1,700 part of the URL, we get the following font variants:
- Light (not italic, weight 300)
- Regular (not italic, weight 400)
- Bold (not italic, weight 700)
- (Regular) Italic (italic, weight 400)
- Bold Italic (italic, weight 700)
This change ends the project's reliance on Google Fonts as a remote font asset host. Roboto is released under the SIL Open Font License, Version 1.1: https://github.com/googlefonts/roboto-3-classic/?tab=OFL-1.1-1-ov-file The initial TTF font files were downloaded from GitHub: https://github.com/googlefonts/roboto-3-classic/releases/tag/v3.010 Then I ran `ftcli converter ft2wf --flavor woff2` on the files from the `web` directory to generate `woff2` files: https://ftcli.github.io/FoundryTools-CLI/commands/ftcli_converter.html

The initial TTF font files were downloaded from GitHub: https://github.com/googlefonts/roboto-3-classic/releases/tag/v3.010
Then I ran
ftcli converter ft2wf --flavor woff2on the files from thewebdirectory to generatewoff2files: https://ftcli.github.io/FoundryTools-CLI/commands/ftcli_converter.html#ftcli-converter-ft2wfCloses #1003.
I think we'll want to fix #1881 before this is merged.
