The quotes made each var() a literal family name, so the browser searched for a font called "var(--aw-font-sans, ui-sans-serif)", never found one, and fell through to the next family in the list. Inter never applied on any AstroWind site; the bug is easy to miss because the fallback is a plausible system sans. Fixes arthelokyo#714

Fixes #714.
The bug
In
src/assets/styles/tailwind.cssthe three font tokens wrap theirvar()calls in quotes:A quoted string in
font-familyis a literal family name, not a substitution. The browser looks for a font actually namedvar(--aw-font-sans, ui-sans-serif), fails to find one, and falls through to the next family in the list — so--aw-font-sans(and its serif/heading siblings) never take effect, and the Inter set inCustomStyles.astronever renders. It goes unnoticed because the fallback is a reasonable system sans.The quoting belongs on the value —
CustomStyles.astroalready correctly declares--aw-font-sans: 'Inter Variable'— not on thevar()call.The fix
Remove the quotes around the three
var()references. One-line change each; no other behaviour is affected.Verification
Confirmed on a build of this template with a custom font in
CustomStyles.astro, using Chrome DevTools ProtocolCSS.getPlatformFontsForNodeto read the font the browser actually painted with (rather than the computedfont-familystring, which does not reveal the failed lookup):Segoe UI(fallback)Nunito Variable(the configured font)document.fonts.check('700 60px "Nunito Variable"')falsetrueThe variable-weight axis also renders correctly after the fix (rendered text width grows monotonically from weight 200 → 900), confirming the face is genuinely in use and not merely loaded.
