using google fonts in nextjs with sass, css and semantic ui react

I have a next.config.js file that has the following configuration:

const withSass = require('@zeit/next-sass');
const withCss = require('@zeit/next-css');

module.exports = withSass(withCss({
  webpack (config) {
    config.module.rules.push({
      test: /\.(png|svg|eot|otf|ttf|woff|woff2)$/,
      use: {
        loader: 'url-loader',
        options: {
          limit: 100000,
          publicPath: './',
          outputPath: 'static/',
          name: '[name].[ext]'
        }
      }
    })

    return config
  }
}));

This is great because it runs my semantic ui css files.

Now I have a problem. I can't seem to successfully import any google font url. I tried downloading the ttf file into my file path and tried to reference it with the @import scss function. However I get a GET http://localhost:3000/fonts/Cabin/Cabin-Regular.ttf net::ERR_ABORTED 404 (Not Found) error

Here is what I'm trying to do with google font:

@font-face {
  font-family: 'Cabin';
  src: url('/fonts/Cabin/Cabin-Regular.ttf')  format('truetype');
}

$font-size: 100px;
.example {
  font-size: $font-size;
  font-family: 'Cabin', sans-serif;
}

I have also downloaded the relevant npm dependencies:

"@zeit/next-css": "^1.0.1",
"@zeit/next-sass": "^1.0.1",
"file-loader": "^2.0.0",
"next": "^7.0.2",
"node-sass": "^4.9.4",
"react": "^16.6.0",
"react-dom": "^16.6.0",
"semantic-ui-css": "^2.4.1",
"semantic-ui-react": "^0.83.0",
"url-loader": "^1.1.2"

How do I use local fonts in Nextjs?

js project. Step 2: Open the project in your code editor, and create a new folder in the root directory called fonts. Step 3: If you already have the fonts, then skip this step. Download the required fonts from Google Fonts.

I know in Next.js 9.3, you can copy the @import statement from Google Fonts:

@import url('https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Jost&display=swap');

and place this in some css file, lets say styles/fonts.css like so:

@import url('https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Jost&display=swap');

.jost {
  font-family: 'Jost', sans-serif;
}

Then import that inside of your global _app.js file like so:

import `../styles/fonts.css`

Now you have global access to that class containing the Google Font in every next.js page

I think the other solution is to use fonts directly from Google. Just customize _app.js file and add a <link rel="stylesheet" /> in the <Head />

Example _app.js

import React from 'react';
import App, { Container } from 'next/app';
import Head from 'next/head';

export default class MyApp extends App {
  static async getInitialProps({ Component, router, ctx }) {
    let pageProps = {};

    if (Component.getInitialProps) {
      pageProps = await Component.getInitialProps(ctx);
    }

    return { pageProps };
  }

  render() {
    const { Component, pageProps } = this.props;

    return (
      <Container>
        <Head>
          <link
            href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Cabin"
            rel="stylesheet"
            key="google-font-cabin"
          />
        </Head>

        <Component {...pageProps} />

        <style global jsx>{`
          body {
            font-family: 'Cabin', sans-serif;
          }
        `}</style>
      </Container>
    );
  }
}
