Bunny fonts – privacy respecting drop-in replacement for Google Fonts

  Easy way to get Google WEBfonts for self hosting.

I just went through the process of self-hosting Google Fonts. The process is actually surprisingly tricky.

Google Fonts lets you download fonts for desktop use, in the form of .ttf or .otf rather than the .woff[2] with one file per Latin/Greek/Vietnamese/etc. script served by Google Fonts itself. If you want the same font-embedding CSS as Google Fonts itself, you can use https://google-webfonts-helper.herokuapp.com/fonts (a font browser, outdated, doesn't support font-display: swap), or https://nextgenthemes.com/google-webfont-downloader/ (a converter from Google Fonts CSS URLs to downloadable font packs, supports font-display: swap, it works well but I chose to not host the large CSS files with embedded fonts in base64 format).

As a technical curiosity, the second site can suffer a race condition resulting in partial or broken file downloads (I never tested what happens), if two people request the same font bundle at the same time, and they overwrite each other: https://github.com/nextgenthemes/open-webfonts#bug-reports-a...

I wish browsers would give users an option to set the default font-display policy to swap.

Oh, that'd probably work for dyslexic style "easier reading" fonts too.

I wondered if it supports fonts out of the box, but not currently.
