Theme does not work with rST Vscode Extension
I really like the immaterial theme, but it does not work with rST VsCode Extension. The problem is with the language server (Esbonio) used by the extension that it crashes with the async Google font download.
I did not find a way to turn off the font download. It would be nice, if the font download is made optional.
Can you post anything that tells us why the font is causing the extension to crash?
If it is a problem with the path to the fonts not being relative to the sphinx-build output, then you can use the config option sphinx_immaterial_external_resource_cache_dir to tell the theme to download the fonts to your project's docs' build folder.
Unfortunately the extension does not seem to write much about this problem on the console even with debug log level.
/usr/local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/esbonio/lsp/sphinx/init.py:164: RuntimeWarning: coroutine 'add_google_fonts.
.do_fetch' was never awaited
sphinx_immaterial_external_resource_cache_dir worked well with local build but not with the build triggered by the extension,
There is some suggestion by the Esbonio developers here https://github.com/swyddfa/esbonio/issues/451#issuecomment-1255633191
Maybe it is notable to say that I am using a VsCode DevContainer. But most other themes work fine with this setup and Esbonio.
Solution released in v0.11.4
