Support font-inlining for global styles

🚀 Feature request

Command (mark with an x)

• [x] build

Description

Currently, font inlining only works for font that are declared in the index.html.

<link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Open+Sans:wght@300&display=swap" rel="stylesheet">

However, fonts can also be imported in CSS files using the @import rule.

@import url("https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Open+Sans:wght@300&display=swap");

We should probably handle both cases.

Ideally we'd like to keep the font inlining as an implementation detail and hide it from developers. Can we discover all the fonts in global styles/index.html and inline them?

[alan-agius4]

We already automatically inline all the Google and Adobe fonts found in the index.html.

Not entirely sure, what is being requested here.

[twerske]

This would be the same but for fonts found in styles.css and style files.

Additionally @jelbourn and I discussed a schematic for ng add --font-inlining <font family>

Following a convo with @twerske on Slack, this request is to enable font-inline of fonts in global stylesheets. (I have update the issue to reflect this).

Regarding @jelbourn request, I am still not sure what it being requested. I also suggest that we keep one feature per issue as it would be easier to track.

Thank you for submitting your feature request! Looks like during the polling process it didn't collect a sufficient number of votes to move to the next stage.

We want to keep Angular rich and ergonomic and at the same time be mindful about its scope and learning journey. If you think your request could live outside Angular's scope, we'd encourage you to collaborate with the community on publishing it as an open source package.

@twerske is this something that we still want to persue?
