hi!! im so sorry for bothering about missing asset issues again, but i noticed that the DMSans font used by the default git.gay theme on my personal build is not being applied and i don't know how to apply it with the custom directory.

https://git.gay/gitgay/assets/src/branch/main/public/assets/font/DMSans this font directory specifically

git.gay network logs:

git.girlcock.ceo (my instance) logs:

the dark theme stylesheet calls for it:

i thought this was intended and i just needed to use the custom directory, but i have trouble understanding forgejo docs on using the custom directory, and i've tried various variations of using the custom directory, but it's not working.

i've tried custom/public/assets/font/DMSans and custom/public/font/DMSans. neither are making any network requests for the font or changing my instance's font.

is there a way to get this into builds or something? thanks!!!! <3

in the install used on git.gay, this is the structure of the custom folder. the css file that actually loads the custom fonts was included in the head_opengraph.tmpl, i've changed that just now, it's in the head_style.tmpl which is a little more sensible. ive outlined what you'd need for this font to be used.

i did intend to add it to the build eventually, but figuring out how to do that "correctly" with the bundlers and all that was tricky and I decided this was a good enough solution, at least for now. hope this helps with getting it to work on your install!
