Feature Request: Serve fonts locally

[nonvex]

Would it be possible to bundle the fonts used in the framework locally as opposed to fetching them from Google Fonts? For many applications it is not possible to allow third party calls.

Thank you for your work.

I downloaded the fonts and replaced the paths in the carbon css file to point to local files instead of google fonts. Maybe you should also try this approach.

I think this is a limitation imposed by the carbon design system package/components package itself, rather than specific for the svelte component framework.

The font url's are harcoded in the fonts/type .scss files.

In the meantime, you could try to download the fonts e.g. using the Google Webfont Helper from https://github.com/IBM/plex and override the @font-face definitions or simply replace the URLs, as @weaseldotro did.

It should be possible to self host IBM Plex fonts when using SCSS. The Carbon monorepo has some documentation on self-hosting, but it should also be documented for the Svelte implementation.
