Custom font loads only after moments

[Deleted user]

Hi Jeffrey, fantastic work on the tailpress-theme. I currently use it for a relaunch of my companies website. I want to use a custom font. So what I did was to add @font-face rule to the custom.css-file. Then in the tailwind.config.js file I extended the following:

  extend: {
           fontFamily: {
               sans: ['Greta Sans Std', ...defaultTheme.fontFamily.sans]
           }
       }

When I open the website now, the font is loaded correctly but only after a few milliseconds, so first the other font is shown. Is there a way to load the fonts before in order for correct font loading? I also set font-display to swap. Would be nice to know how you would do it, thanks!

How are you enqueueing the font? I'm adding an enqueue script, and then adding it to wp_head:

function your_theme_enqueue_script() {
	wp_enqueue_script( 'typekit', '//use.typekit.net/abcdefg.js', array(), '1.0.0' );
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'your_theme_enqueue_script' );
add_action( 'admin_enqueue_scripts', 'your_theme_enqueue_script' );

function  your_theme_enqueue_typekit_inline() {
	if ( wp_script_is( 'typekit', 'enqueued' ) ) {
		echo '<script type="text/javascript">try{Typekit.load();}catch(e){}</script>';
	}
}
add_action( 'wp_head', 'your_theme_enqueue_typekit_inline' );
add_action( 'admin_head', 'your_theme_enqueue_typekit_inline' );

With this method I'm not getting any flash of unstyled or invisible text, etc
