Where to find Font URLs?

To use remote fonts, you need a direct link to a .ttf or .otf file.

1. Google Fonts (GitHub): The most reliable source. Visit the Google Fonts GitHub, navigate to a font, and copy the link to the "Raw" file.
2. Discord: You can upload a font to a Discord channel, right-click the file, and select Copy Link.
3. Open Source Projects: Many fonts like Inter or JetBrains Mono host their files on GitHub.

Warning

The URL must end in .ttf or .otf. Linking to a website like fonts.google.com will not work as those are preview pages, not the font files themselves.
