Slint cannot read woff2, which is the only form web/public/fonts/ carries, and Raspbian has no fonts-nunito to install instead - so the device was going to fall back to DejaVu Sans, which is not what any of this was drawn in. The upstream variable TTF (SIL OFL, weights 200-1000) is small enough to vendor and covers every weight the design uses, including the 800/900 the headings lean on. SLINT_DEFAULT_FONT takes one file and makes it the primary font. shell.nix now points at this copy rather than at nixpkgs' own, so development and the device render from the identical file, and the binary falls back to finding it beside the executable when neither the dev shell nor the device's launcher has set the variable.

Nunito, the face the design is drawn in, as a variable TTF.

`web/public/fonts/` has the same family as woff2, which is right for a browser and
|
|
useless here: Slint cannot read woff2. This is the upstream variable TTF (weights
|
|
200-1000), which `SLINT_DEFAULT_FONT` is pointed at - by `shell.nix` for development,
|
|
and by the launcher `roles/pi_slint_frontend` installs on the device.
