I have a component that will need to use a bunch of one-off fonts, I don't want to load these fonts on every page, only pages that will use that component, is this possible with next or react?

iif not, just make a font util file, define them all there, then import the font.className to the div

I am, I thought it would be harder with tailwindcss because it only has a global config

not necessarily. do you know how to use font variables?

if you mean the next/font library then I have a basic understanding

yeah but more specifically the variable key in the font definition, as well as adding it as a reference in the tailwind config

oh I got you, that's what I do for my regular use fonts
I set a variable name and then use it in the tailwind config
@Yusuf I set a variable name and then use it in the tailwind config
exactly. You can just do that. if its a shit ton of fonts it may be cumbersome tho
