Feature request: add font preload and local hosting options to the Font Manager

Beta
#1

Hey, these two features would make the Font Manager even better and improve performance.

Preload font option
Allow to enable preload for fonts added through the Font Manager (<link rel="preload" as="style">), in order to avoid render-blocking stylesheets.

Local font hosting option
Allow to automatically download fonts (from Bunny Fonts or Google Fonts) and serve them locally from the site, bypassing third-party CDNs. Ideally, this would include:

  • Automatic generation of @font-face CSS
  • Font subsetting
  • Option to serve WOFF2 only for modern browsers

I think we can add a preload option pretty easily.

Hosting fonts locally and doing all that downloading sounds like a bit of a time investment. Have you ever tried a plugin like this https://wordpress.org/plugins/local-google-fonts/?
