Network usage is prohibited for themes

[joethei]

It appears that your theme uses network connections to load assets (e.g. fonts, icons, or images). This is prohibited by the official Obsidian developer policies because themes should function completely locally.

You can bundle an asset for local use by using data URLs. See this guide.

Please let us know if you have any questions. Any themes that use network connections will be removed from the official directory in the first week of January 2024.

@LEFD what do you think is the best path forward for this?

Possibly the best thing is just not bundling the font anymore, so people can opt into using the fonts I like, but that's a breaking change. I'm not sure the best way to communicate to people that they would need to install fonts to keep the theme looking the same

@caro401 I think the best way forward would be to embed the fonts in the CSS file. That's a bit messy, but this way the theme would look as we intended out of the box.

I don't think people read change logs for themes. (I don't). Installing fonts on mobile devices might be a problem as well.
Also, one always has the option to use a custom font if one desires to do so.
