## Thinking Path > - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for work > - The browser UI depends on the Inter font family for its intended visual baseline > - The app previously referenced remote Google Fonts stylesheets at runtime > - That meant self-hosted, offline, or privacy-sensitive deployments could lose the intended typography or depend on an external request > - This pull request bundles the required Inter variable font files with the UI and serves them from the app > - A normal UI test now covers the static assets and CSS wiring without adding a package script or build step > - The benefit is a more reliable, self-contained UI that does not rely on third-party webfont hosting ## Linked Issues or Issue Description No public GitHub issue was found for this exact gap. **Subsystem affected** ui/ — React + Vite board UI **Problem or motivation** Paperclip's UI should ship the webfont assets it references so production and self-hosted deployments render consistently without reaching out to Google Fonts at runtime. **Proposed solution** Bundle the Inter variable font files under the UI public assets, load them with local `@font-face` declarations, document the bundled assets, and cover the source assets/CSS wiring with a normal UI Vitest test. **Alternatives considered** Keeping the remote stylesheet dependency is simpler, but leaves deployments dependent on external font hosting. Using system fonts only would avoid the asset footprint, but changes the intended UI typography. **Roadmap alignment** This is a focused UI reliability/polish fix, not a roadmap-level core feature. **Additional context** Searched public GitHub issues and PRs for `webfonts repo:paperclipai/paperclip`; no duplicates or closely related open items were found. ## What Changed - Added bundled Inter variable font assets and their notice under `ui/public/fonts/`. - Replaced remote Google Fonts imports with local `@font-face` declarations using relative public-asset URLs that remain subpath-safe from built CSS. - Documented the local font asset expectation in development and UI spec docs. - Removed the follow-up font asset checker scripts and package/build wiring after review feedback clarified they are not required for building the UI. - Added `ui/src/lib/ui-font-assets.test.ts` to verify the shipped WOFF2 files, notice text, and CSS font references through the normal UI test suite. ## Verification - `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui exec vitest run src/lib/ui-font-assets.test.ts --config vitest.config.ts` - Passed. - Confirms the bundled font files exist, are WOFF2 files, have notice coverage, and are referenced by `ui/src/index.css`. - `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui build` - Passed. - Confirmed the UI still builds after removing the checker from `ui/package.json`. - Confirmed `ui/dist/fonts/` contains `InterVariable.woff2`, `InterVariable-Italic.woff2`, and `NOTICE.md` after the build. - The UI build emitted existing warnings about `::highlight(...)`, a dynamic/static import overlap for `MarkdownEditor.tsx`, unresolved relative public font URLs left for runtime resolution, and large chunks, but completed successfully. ## Risks Low risk. This adds static font assets and swaps the font source from a remote stylesheet to same-origin files. The main tradeoff is a larger repository/UI asset footprint from the bundled `.woff2` files. > For core feature work, check [`ROADMAP.md`](ROADMAP.md) first and discuss it in `#dev` before opening the PR.
