Hello,
By chance, I noticed that the HTML versions of documents on the IETF
website fetch fonts from Google. I was wondering if we're all okay with
that?
It is a soft dependency, the fonts are used across the Web and most people have a copy already cached on their browser. The URI is to identify the font and also download if not already there.
But still, kinda weird we have the dependency when the browsers have arial etc in there already.
For example:
https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-davids-forsalereg-09.html
I also noticed two console errors about a missing 'rfc-local.css' and
'metadata.min.js'. Should we look into fixing those?
The rfc-local is a hook so that you can override the style sheet with a local one if you choose. I do make use of it occasionally to do things like present headings in colour.
Best,
