#Fontless
`fontaine` + `fontless` hit v1 this week too, and they are all designed to work together!

⚪ `unifont` reads the metadata
⚪ `fontaine` uses it to cut layout shift
⚪ `fontless` does the whole thing in vite w/ zero config

... plus, `@nuxt/fonts` v1 is coming out next, which wraps all three! 🔥

During the keynote of @vueconf.us, @danielroe.dev releases `fontless` - a @vite.dev plugin to apply "magical plug-and-play font optimization".
Created in collab with the @qwik.dev team

This is basically the @nuxt.com fonts module, but for all Vite-based apps 🤯

Thanks to everyone and especially @danielroe.dev 🏡 and @damianpumar.hf.co for leading the development! 🙏

I have NO IDEA if #RestingBitchFace is still a thing and frankly, I don't care.

Picture provided comes with a font and fontless version, in case it wasn't obvious enough to see...

I have a fontless mind, probably related to the fact that I have a mostly imageless mind! If I "picture a word" I hear it more than see it, but I don't really feel like hearing is the right way to describe it either. I just kinda conceptualise it...?

Yeah, loading fonts that way works fine but you lose the benefits of fontless/fontaine. It works great in other frameworks using vite so should be solvable? no clue if it's on fontless or RRs side though

Fonts don't load in React Router · Issue #545 · unjs/fontaine
🐛 The bug Using with React Router (7, framework mode) doesn't work. Fonts are requested from /_fonts but always return a 404. Local fonts do seem to work though. 🛠️ To reproduce https://github.com/...

Too late NYT! The rat 🕳️ closed in behind the guy you enabled for two years, sane-washed, and crime-scrubbed.

Your 96pt FONTLESS FRONT PAGES MISSED ALL THE CLUES.

Now u try our readers around the globe will watch all of your WE TOLD YOU SOs once the real corruption begins.

There’s so much to unpack here, not least because TNR has come to seem old-fashioned while Calibri has always been somewhat ungainly. I’ve been default-fontless since 2023.
