March 2025 — For nordeck/matrix-neoboard, delivered a reliability upgrade to PDF exports by stabilizing fonts: mapped new board fonts to Inter and set Inter as the default font for PDFs, removing the Roboto font config to guarantee proper font embedding. This prevents export-time crashes when boards use new fonts. The work included changeset documentation, test snapshot updates, and a changelog entry. Results: smoother, crash-free PDF exports; improved user trust and reduced support load. Refs: commits 3d7c3bffd49afecea287b5ea66bed44c4b6eff2c and f24412d0fa54a0c56586912d324ae24dccbe8cf6. Tech stack and skills demonstrated: font handling and typography decisions, build/test automation, documentation, release hygiene.
