Where are the font files stored?

So recently I have been thinking that the Serif font in the paint editor is well, a bit mixed up. I think it was meant to be a different font but since serif shows up as Times New Roman I think this was a mistake. The dropdown also shows a different serif font. Where are the font files stored so I can see if i'm correct?

The font files are not stored in the sb3 file, they are stored on your computer. As far as I know they are stored in C

Windows/Fonts on windows

They are just fonts in CSS
like this:

font-family: sans-serif;

It's meant to be Source Serif Pro, but because of a bug the browser's default font is used. I'm trying to find the code that causes this.

Ah, thought so! Thanks. Perhaps they should rename the file to Modern Serif.

You're right: they're stored as base64 data URIs in a stylesheet.

I think I found the cause: the word “Serif” doesn't have quotes here, so the browser interprets it as a keyword and not as a font name.

Also, for anyone wondering, the source font files themselves are stored at scratch-render-fonts.

That's not where they're loaded from.

Scratch doesn't actually use those files – they're converted to base64 data URIs by webpack.
