Protocol relative font link doesn't work with file protocol

[therustmonk]

Fonts don't loads when site\index.html opens locally. That's because relative protocol link usesd in base.html and there is no file://fonts.googleapis.com/... data exists.

How about to use https explicitly?

We could do that, sounds reasonable. But, how did you manage to serve it locally anyway? This shouldn't be a problem at all.

I've put documentation with desktop application and want to add os-link to index.html, but when user opens local file fonts don't load.

I've found appropriate solution: use system fonts by additional stylesheets:

body, input {
   font-family: 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;
}
pre, code {
   font-family: 'Consolas', 'Courier New', 'Courier', monospace;
}

It works ok and I think It's also better, because external fonts can be unavailable and unwanted for desktop (offline) applications.

The protocol-relative URL technique is now considered an anti-pattern, so I will set HTTPS explicitly.
