"Self hosted" excalidraw exports SVG with non standard path

[bric3]

Hi, I'm the developer of the IntelliJ plugin that integrates Excalidraw.

I recently upgraded excalidraw, I noticed that SVG files have now the "wrong" URL for some assets like the fonts.

  <svg version="1.1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="0 0 437.9033836762792 296" width="875.8067673525584" height="592">
    ...
    <defs>
      <style class="style-fonts">
        @font-face {
          font-family: "Virgil";
-         src: url("https://excalidraw.com/Virgil.woff2");
+         src: url("https://excalidraw-jetbrains-plugin//dist/excalidraw-assets/Virgil.woff2");
        }
        @font-face {
          font-family: "Cascadia";
-         src: url("https://excalidraw.com/Cascadia.woff2");
+         src: url("https://excalidraw-jetbrains-plugin//dist/excalidraw-assets/Cascadia.woff2");
        }
      </style>
      
    </defs>
    ...
  </svg>

It appears this is related to this change.

• exportToSvg() does not respect window.EXCALIDRAW_ASSET_PATH #5063

I am actually interested by the opposite. In order to interface the webapp with IntelliJ (and to work offline), Excalidraw is self hosted in the IJ process.

However I would like the SVG files to keep the standard assets path, i.e. the one that goes to excalidraw.com. I looked at the change and I'm not sure it is possible to work around it.

I do understand the original issue, but maybe there should be an option to use the standard paths ?

It would be great to have a way to define an own url for the fonts when a svg file is exported.
Even better would be to add this url as the first one and then fallback to excalidraw.com.

src: url("https://my-url/Cascadia.woff2"),  url("https://excalidraw.com/Cascadia.woff2");

This would allow to support both use cases at once. You first try to use the local font and if it is not available use the on hosted in the internet.

For now I'm working around this by patching the SVG string myself. But this is less than optimal.

Even better might be to also allow a locally-installed font:

src: url("https://my-url/Cascadia.woff2"),  local("Cascadia"), url("https://excalidraw.com/Cascadia.woff2");
