A Reason to Self-Host Fonts

Read Original

The article details a personal experience where a website's font rendering broke unexpectedly due to Google Fonts updating a font file. It explores the cause, likely a variable font change, and uses this incident to argue for self-hosting web fonts. It compares the performance pros and cons of self-hosting vs. using a CDN and recommends tools like Font Squirrel and google-webfonts-helper for the transition.
