Philly JS - Fast Fonts for a Global Web
Kelly Choyce-Dwan will present how to pick fonts that support multiple languages and the impact that choice has on file size and performance. Learn how to use those fonts without hurting your site's performance, covering Unicode ranges, font subsetting (and why it gets complicated fast), how browsers decide which font files to load, and a few build tools that can help.
Philly JS is possible thanks to support from: Supabase, Liberty Jobs, and Indy Hall.
