Tips for improving load speed? about juliamono HOT 10 CLOSED

Thank so much!!!

I want everyone to use JuliaMono instead of Roboto Mono :)

Awesome - if a bit scary... :)

I'll investigate how to do it.

I made a smaller version called JuliaMono-RegularLatin which has the bare minimum of glyphs and is much smaller. You could compare this versus doing the unicode range subsetting in CSS.

I can easily include add any glyphs that you must have to -RegularLatin...

Yes. :)

@fonsp Thanks so much - I'm very happy about this... :)

Yes the size is very large now that I switched to TrueType... They're nearly twice as large as the OTF/PostScript versions. :(

Are you thinking to use the Unicode range option for @font-face + WOFF2 fonts that restricts the download to a subset of glyphs, then switch to a complete subset later? Might be possible for CSS wizards...

I'm wondering if you access fonts installed inside the package - kind of like how applications use their own fonts because they were installed as part of the application bundle?

Alternatively or aditionally you could make it easy for people to select the font in Pluto (they could install it themselves for general use in the REPL and then choose it for Pluto).

I think it would be straightforward to make a latin (MacRoman/Windows1252) version. Copy and paste is easy enough, there might be ways I could automate it too). Will investigate.

About hot-swapping: I thought that we can just load two fonts: "JuliaMono" and "JuliaMono-latin". The second one will load sooner because it is smaller, and then in the CSS:

code {
    font-family: "JuliaMono", "JuliaMono-latin", monospace;
}

When you open Pluto for the second time it will load near instantaneously - it uses a service worker to cache all assets inside the browser.

I don't want to make it an option - I want everyone to use JuliaMono instead of Roboto Mono :)

Just being able to extract a latin subset would already be a huge help! I think the hot-swapping & CSS font loading is something that I need to learn about anyways, because Pluto also uses some other fonts that also need better loading strategies. So don't spend too much time on it!

Can you also make a Latin subset of the Bold variant? ☺

Pluto 0.12.0 will use JuliaMono! I'm using it already and it looks delightful
