Aloha @BjornSvensson -
Thank you for your reply. To answer your first question, I suppose my reply is twofold. The first part is that our platform runs on 3 networks, 2 of which are restrictive and do not have internet access. Therefore, it is required to host the API and fonts locally. The second part is that for the 3rd network with internet access, we need to eliminate unnecessary 3rd party services wherever possible. This is because if the cord to the outside world (i.e. internet) gets cut, our applications should still be able to continue to run as much as possible. Therefore, this includes hosting the API and fonts on those internal servers as well.
For your second question, I suppose that's twofold as well. To me, 404 errors (and errors in general) are something that need to be fixed...but that's just me. I suppose the bigger concern is that the application is supposed to be rendering the previews in a particular way, but in these cases it doesn't, so it comes down to us offering our clients something that isn't performing as advertised. Granted, this particular case borders on the trivial, but it's still something I have to work through.
If you don't mind my asking, is there any reasoning you can share about those other 7 fonts not being added? Those Arial ones are probably the most widely recognized amongst the group and would be useful.
