Hi @artyPD, sounds like unpkg.com has a problem

Simple solution, as in it seems easy, but I'm not this competent YET... One day...

Host the font files locally.

Instead of loading fonts from unpkg.com, download them and serve them from the same domain (it-tools.tech). That way, there's no cross-origin request to be blocked.

It seems so simple now. Thanks.

I can do you one better (I think)... There are two slashes right before Standard. If you remove one, the font is actually loadable from unpkg. https://unpkg.com/[email protected]/fonts/Standard.flf. It might be a mere concatenation issue!

Cheers

Hi @artyPD and @Gormandy and @bfqrst , I will serve fonts locally in my fork soon (for "safety reasons"). But as of now, this works again in my fork (ctrl+f5 may be needed): https://sharevb-it-tools.vercel.app/ascii-text-drawer

Hi @sharevb, looks good!

It seems that Ctrl+F5 is needed to switch fonts. Swiching between the different fonts with reloading shows the same error. However, Ctrl+F5 then loads the font I selected because it was the last selected font. Is this what you meant with the Ctrl+F5?

Hi @artyPD and @Gormandy and @bfqrst , I now serve fonts locally in my fork. May need one time "ctrl+f5" since it-tools is a PWA
