We are changing to use woff2 instead of ttf for all our fonts. This is supported on all browsers we support (see https://caniuse.com/woff2) and it's faster and a smaller file size. This results in an Xkb total size reduction for fonts we package with Discourse.

We are changing to use woff2 instead of ttf for all our
fonts. This is supported on all browsers we support
(see https://caniuse.com/woff2) and it's faster and a
smaller file size.
This results in an ~16MB total size reduction for fonts
we package with Discourse. Most fonts are 50-75%
smaller so that helps a lot with general initial page load.
The worst offender was Noto Sans JP, which was 4MB per
font file.
