Fix Lato webfont never loading; reorder Latin fallbacks before CJK#393
Merged
Conversation
The NexT font.enable flag was false, so Lato was in the CSS font stack but never fetched — visitors without it locally fell through to PingFang SC for all Latin text. - Add custom/head.njk to inject Google Fonts preconnects and a Lato stylesheet (weights 400, 700, 400-italic; skips unused 300/light and 700-italic that the theme's built-in loader would pull) - Wire it up via custom_file_path.head in _config.yml - Override $font-family-base and its derived variables in custom/variables.styl so Latin system fonts appear before CJK fonts in the fallback chain Also update package-lock.json to reflect the dependency state after a clean rebuild triggered during development of the above.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
I'm not really sure about this one (it's beyond my knowledge) but it locally renders fine so let's merge and find out

Website was rendering weirdly in my new laptop. Turns out it uses a font assuming I locally have it, which the new one didn't. Now I made Claude to pull it from Google fonts. Let's say it broke anything in the process or not |
