Recently, on some OSes (like MacOS Monterey), the check using the truetype font via data-uri started throwing the following error (provided by Firefox v93.0): ``` downloadable font: not usable by platform (font-family: "pixelambacht" style:normal weight:400 stretch:100 src index:0) source: data:font/truetype;base64,AAEAAAALAIAAAwAwT1MvMghABuMAAAC8AAAAYGNtYXAAlQDaAAABHAAAAGRnYXNw//8ABAAAAYAAAAAIZ2x5Zv8nt3kAAAGIAAAATG … AQQJAAQAAgAOAAMAAQQJAAUAAAAAAAMAAQQJAAYAAAAAAAMAAQQJAAoAAAAAAAD+/wBy/v8Ab/7/AGX+/wBsAAMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA= ``` Updating how the data-uri was set to include things like `format()` seemed to resolve the errors, but Firefox was still warning: ``` downloadable font: no supported format found (font-family: "pixelambacht" style:normal weight:400 stretch:100 src index:1) source: (end of source list) ``` ... and the check was still failing when it should have been passing. Changing to use the WOFF font instead of the TrueType font resolved the warning, and allowed the check to work properly again.

I wanted to also point out that the previous version was also getting a warning from Firefox about: However, the version in the PR also results in this warning, just with the updated source. It doesn't seem to affect anything as far as I can tell. |

Also, according to caniuse.com, woff seems to have better browser support now than ttf, so this should hopefully be an acceptable change. |
