Reduce amount of web fonts included (page performance!) #55
Description
Activity
I use 400 on the front page as well. The bolds and italics could be used by any markdown page in whatever weight we’ve set that to by default as well. I’m all for trimming it down I’m not just 100% sure all the weights and combos we’re using right now.

At the moment we use the widths 300 (default text), 500 (headlines), and 700 (for bold). Maybe we could get rid of the latter as well.

Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub #55.Just observed this when I viewed source. Was about to report an issue on this and stumbled on this one :)
May I investigate this issue and possibly fix it? I could check what weights are being used in the page right now and report back.
We already removed the 200, 600 and 900 widths, and font caching is addressed in #69. I didn't have enough time to test it before launch.
Ah, ok.
This will be fixed by #98.
