Font Optimization

[vnphanquang]

Look into Google Fonts for Inter and Lora, and copy the subsetted files from google font. Remember to check license. Self host fonts should be more performant in general; we have not done any testing or benchmark to verify this claim though.

• [ ] re-optimize / re-copy subsetted fonts for Inter
• [ ] re-optimize / re-copy subsetted fonts for Lora. Currently using a variable font, perhaps we don't need that (only using one or two font weights at the moment).
• [ ] set fallback font matching (size-adjust, ascent-override, descent-override). These are currently not fully supported in Safari, but worth putting it in for users in other browsers.
